Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Been Sensational, I'm Glad That He Has Done Well, Says Sunil Joshi
Harare Sports Club: Indias stand-in bowling coach Sunil Joshi praised young batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his explosive start to the T20I series against Zimbabwe, adding that he was glad to see the teenager do well in the opening game at the Harare Sports Club. Sooryavanshi's 18-ball fifty, laced with four boundaries and as many sixes, made him the youngest player to score a half-century in international cricket. His blitzkrieg reduced Indias chase of 126 to a mere formality as the reigning T20 World Cup champions reached home with 40 balls remaining and take a 1-0 lead. I think the first thing is, let's focus on his batting. He's been sensational and I'm glad that he has done well. This is a hunting ground for him. He performed well in the U19 World Cup finals here. He had a good performance yesterday as well, Joshi told reporters in the pre-match press conference, ahead of the second T20I on Saturday. He also revealed that some work will be put in on Sooryavanshis bowling skills at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Vaibhav has been very comfortable with his batting. Whenever we get time in his bowling, I'll work with him in the CoE. Whenever we will see him bowling well, we'll definitely and quickly focus on that. Addressing comparisons surrounding emerging seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, Joshi urged patience and persistence with young talents adapting to the demands of international T20 cricket. Look, we shouldn't compare. Suryansh is making his place in the Indian team. Hardik (Pandya) has made his place. Shivam (Dube) has also made his place. So, he's a rising talent. We have to persist with him. He's working on good things, and good areas. That's what we want in the T20 format. Addressing comparisons surrounding emerging seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, Joshi urged patience and persistence with young talents adapting to the demands of international T20 cricket. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The coaches always want him to improve every time for the better and Harsh Dubey has also performed well. We also have Tilak Verma with us. In fact, he's also another optional bowler. We have conversations with him about not giving too many runs, giving more dot balls, and focusing on the basics. That's it, very simple and just keep it simple. Article Source: IANS

From Local Dreams to Global Careers: Free SAP Learning for Students in India
For years, a degree was the thing that got you hired. Thats changed. Employers now want graduates who can pick things up fast, understand how a business actually runs, and work comfortably in tech-driven teams that often span several countries at once. SAP Learning Hub, student edition A student graduating in Bengaluru or Pune might, within months, be collaborating with colleagues in Berlin or clients in Singapore. Workplaces have moved faster than classrooms in this respect, and that gap is exactly why continuous learning now matters almost as much as the degree itself. Enterprise technology is a big part of that gap. Large organizations run on integrated systems that touch everything from finance and procurement to supply chains and customer service. Most students never encounter these systems until theyre already on the job, at which point theyre expected to learn them on the fly. SAP thinks students shouldnt have to wait that long. Through SAP Learning Hub, student edition , eligible final-year college and university students in India get free access to premium SAP learning resources once they complete academic verification no subscription, no hidden cost. Students pick learning journeys based on what interests them, sit in on expert-led sessions, get hands-on time with real practice systems, and join a learning community that stretches well beyond their own campus. The program also covers two SAP Certification exam attempts, so students walk away with credentials employers recognize internationally. Today's careers are rarely confined to one geography , says David Chaviano, Program Manager, SAP Learning Hub, student edition . Students who understand how businesses operate, and who keep learning throughout their careers, will be better prepared to succeed in an increasingly connected economy . None of this is limited to engineering or computer science students, either. Whether youre studying commerce, management, or a technical discipline, there are learning paths in finance, procurement, HR, supply chain, customer experience, analytics, and business technology. The goal isnt to churn out software users, its to help students understand how modern organizations actually function. Global careers, it turns out, usually start with local preparation. Getting a head start on industry-relevant skills before graduation can make that first jump from campus to workplace feel a lot less daunting, and considerably more rewarding. For Indias graduates entering an increasingly connected economy, understanding how global businesses work may end up mattering just as much as the degree hanging on the wall. https://learning.sap.com/free-student-edition
