From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ravikant Shukla (born July 7, 1987, in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh) is a left-handed batsman who has been appointed captain of the Indian team for the U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka in February 2006. He has played four first-class matches for Uttar Pradesh, scoring 175 runs with a top score of 65. Shukla has played 15 ODIs for the Indian U-19 cricket team, scoring 414 runs at an average of 31.84. He had a disappointing series against the Australian U-19s in November 2005, scoring just 128 runs, and did not perform to his potential in the Afro-Asia Cup either. As captain of Indian U-19s he will be expected to raise his game significantly in the World Cup.
