Chikhli College Trio Sujal, Aditya & Chandram Selected for VNSGU West Zone Cricket Tournament
Chikhli, Navsari: The sports arena of South Gujarat is echoing with the cheers of victory as three phenomenal young cricketers from Chikhli have achieved a monumental milestone. In a high-stakes selection process held in Surat, three star players from the prestigious Shri M.R. Desai Arts & E.E.L.K. Commerce College, Chikhli, outperformed hundreds of competitors to secure their spots in the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) cricket team.
On this Wednesday, January 14, 2026, while the region celebrates Makar Sankranti, the news of this selection has added a double layer of celebration for the sports enthusiasts of Chikhli. These players have not only brought glory to their college but have also proven that Chikhli is a powerhouse of raw athletic talent capable of dominating at the university level.
The Toughest Trial: How Chikhli’s Trio Outshined 130 Elite Cricketers In Surat
The selection trials organized by VNSGU in Surat were nothing short of a “War of Talent.” Over 130 top-tier cricketers from various colleges across South Gujarat converged on the university grounds, each dreaming of donning the VNSGU jersey. The selection process was designed to test the players to their absolute limits:
- Intense Net Sessions: The first two days were dedicated to grueling net practice sessions where scouts monitored every delivery, stroke, and athletic move.
- The “Super 30” Battle: Out of 130, only the top 30 players were shortlisted for the final round.
- High-Voltage Matches: These 30 players were then pitted against each other in high-pressure selection matches. It was here that the three stars from Chikhli displayed their “Khel-Pratibha” (sporting talent) and secured their positions in the final squad.
Meet The Stars: Sujal, Aditya, and Chandram Ready For West Zone Glory
The selection is particularly historic because of the consistency shown by these young athletes. Here is a closer look at the Chikhli trio who will now represent the university at the West Zone Inter-University Cricket Tournament to be hosted by Saurashtra University in Rajkot:
- Sujal Sohil Jivani (Captain): The college team captain has achieved a rare feat by being selected for the VNSGU team for the fourth consecutive time. His leadership and all-round capabilities make him a vital asset for the university.
- Aditya Yadav: Matching Sujal’s record, Aditya has also secured his fourth consecutive selection, proving his status as one of the most consistent performers in South Gujarat’s college cricket circuit.
- Chandram Patel: Showing immense growth in his game, Chandram has been selected for the second time, solidifying his position as a reliable middle-order force.
These players have been meticulously trained under the expert guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Jaymal Nayak, who served as their coach and mentor, polishing their skills for the national stage.
Chikhli College Celebrates: Management Pours In Congratulations
The historic achievement of these three students has created a wave of euphoria at M.R. Desai College. The college management and faculty gathered to celebrate the success of their “Diamond Trio.”
Words of Praise:
- Darshanbhai Desai (Chairman & Managing Trustee): “This is a proud moment for Chikhli. Our students are proving that they are second to none in the field of sports.”
- Dr. Falguniben Desai (Principal): “Education and sports go hand-in-hand at our institution. Sujal, Aditya, and Chandram have set an example for all our students.”
- Dr. Mukeshbhai Patel (Vice-Principal): He highlighted that the college will continue to provide the best infrastructure for budding athletes.
The entire staff and student body joined in wishing the cricketers the best of luck for the upcoming West Zone tournament in Rajkot.
Why This Selection Matters: The Pathway To Ranji Trophy And IPL
For a young cricketer in South Gujarat, being selected for the VNSGU team is the definitive gateway to professional cricket. History shows that many players who excel in the Inter-University tournaments are scouted for:
- Ranji Trophy: The premier domestic first-class cricket championship in India.
- IPL (Indian Premier League): National scouts often keep a close eye on University performers for talent hunts.
- State-Level Representation: Success at the West Zone level can fast-track a player into the Gujarat State team.
With Sujal, Aditya, and Chandram heading to Rajkot, they are now just one step away from the national spotlight. Chikhli’s cricket fans are hopeful that these three will soon be seen on the bigger television screens, representing the state or even the country.
Next Step: The Road To Rajkot
The VNSGU team is currently undergoing specialized training camps before they depart for the West Zone Inter-University Tournament. The competition in Rajkot will feature the best university teams from across Western India, including powerhouses from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.
