In the midst of the excitement surrounding the T20 World Cup 2024, Saurabh Netravalkar, representing the USA cricket team, exemplifies how corporate life transitions are a reality for individuals across all walks of life. Despite his prominence on the cricket field, Saurabh is said to carry his office laptop to his cricket matches and complete his office duties after the match.
Nidhi Netravalkar, sister of the 32-year-old cricket star, recently shed light on Oracle’s significant backing for her brother Saurabh’s cricketing journey alongside his engineering profession. Speaking on News18, Nidhi revealed that Saurabh does office job from the hotel after the T20 World Cup 2024 match.
“He knows that when he’s not playing cricket, he has to give 100 per cent to the job. So right now, when he’s working, he carries his laptop everywhere. And he has the freedom to work from anywhere,” she said.
The Oracle engineer and a left-arm fast bowler brings his laptop even when he comes to India which is his birth nation. “So after the match in the hotel, he’s doing his work. He is pretty dedicated like that,” his sister said.
In response to revelations made by Nidhi, about his diligent commitment to his corporate duties even during the T20 World Cup matches, netizens have taken to social media to express their opinions. Many netizens have applauded Saurabh’s dedication and work ethic, admiring his ability to balance his professional responsibilities with his cricketing endeavours. However, some have raised concerns and criticisms directed at Oracle, questioning the company’s support for Saurabh’s dual career and urging for more flexibility and understanding from employers, especially during significant sporting events like the T20 World Cup.
