Jai Moondra: Rajasthan boy who found international cricket in Ireland

 Jai Moondra left Tonk for higher studies in Ireland, believing cricket was behind him. But while chasing coding deadlines in Dublin, the dream stayed alive at Leinster Cricket Club. After impressing in his maiden T20I series against India and making his ODI debut, the fast bowler’s remarkable journey traces back to Rajasthan, a Pakistani mentor in Dublin, an Indian coach in Jaipur, and years of quiet perseverance. Jai Moondra left Tonk for higher studies in Ireland, believing cricket was behind him.
