Suraj Mankele
Suraj Mankele – A Pillar of Indian Divyang Cricket Born in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, Suraj Mankele has been a long-standing and highly respected member of the Indian Divyang Cricket Team, primarily serving as a wicketkeeper and opening batsman. Known for his solid defensive technique, patience, and remarkable ability to anchor an innings, Suraj has consistently demonstrated that true batting excellence is built on temperament and determination. Whether playing on home soil or overseas pitches, he has always remained composed at the crease, occupying the wicket with confidence and providing the Indian team with a strong foundation and competitive totals. One of the finest examples of his consistency came during India’s tour of Thailand, where Suraj produced an outstanding performance by scoring three consecutive half-centuries in three matches—a remarkable display of discipline, concentration, and class. In recognition of his invaluable contribution and long-standing service to Divyang cricket, Suraj Mankele was honoured with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Divyang Cricket Awards. Even today, his passion for the game remains undiminished. Yet, in a true display of sportsmanship and leadership, Suraj willingly steps back at times to give young and emerging batsmen the opportunity to grow, perform, and establish themselves in the team. Suraj Mankele is not just a cricketer; he is an example of perseverance, humility, commitment, and selfless service to the sport. His legacy continues to inspire the next generation of Divyang cricketers.
