Star batter, Unmukt Chand, was once considered the next big thing in Indian cricket, after leading the team to the U-19 World Cup win in 2012 with a captain’s knock of 111* in the final against Australia. The right-handed batter played for Delhi and India A, and also featured in IPL for Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians. Despite moments of brilliance, including multiple T20 tons, he never received a national call-up for the senior team.

In 2021, he retired from Indian cricket to move to the United States. The wicketkeeper-batter now represents the Los Angeles Knight Riders in Major League Cricket and has also played in Australia’s Big Bash League and the Bangladesh Premier League. Notably, recently Netflix director Raghav Khanna announced a new documentary, Unbroken: The Unmukt Chand Story, reflecting the journey of the player.
