From the Ground.
Real days, real cricket — in the nets, out in the middle, and the evenings in between. No stock photos, just the academy the way it actually looks.
In the nets.
Where most of it actually happens. Two turf & matting nets at DIG Ground, and the same session run again and again until it holds.
Kit bags down, whites on, everybody in the frame.
Match days.
The reason for the hours in the nets — proper fixtures, on proper grounds, against sides that came to win.
The silverware.
Not the point of the academy, but a fair measure of it — league titles, invitational trophies and medals earned across Jharkhand.
Off the field.
An academy is also just a place people turn up to. Birthdays on the seat of a scooter, teammates away from home, the bits between the cricket.
The film room.
Twelve unedited clips from ordinary sessions — shot from behind the net, which is exactly where a coach stands. Hover to watch; click for sound.
These aren't stock photos. This is us — in the nets, every week.
Follow the innings.
There's a new frame most evenings. Come see the sessions, the wins and the wickets as they happen — over on Instagram.
