Stuart Binny - A Lifestory

A cricketer known for his quiet skill and steady play made a name for himself, even though his dad was a very famous player. His career, from 2009 to 2016, wasn't filled with amazing, headlinegrabbing feats, but with dependable work in different game types. He started playing for India in 2014, in a One Day International match against Zimbabwe. Many said this was the result of years of hard work. His bowling and batting were both good, making him a valuable player. His style wasn't flashy, but you could always count on him. He was like a supporting actor in a Bollywood movie – not the star, but important to the movie's success. A teammate said, "He always came through when the team needed him; he was very professional." His good showing in the 2014 World Twenty20 tournament helped his position on the team, even though India didn't win. His work often went unnoticed. He also played well for Karnataka, his home team. His career wasn't long, but he left his mark on Indian cricket. He was a quiet achiever, a reliable player, and a true team player.
