Saurabh Netravalkar, the India-born USA pacer and an AI engineer at Oracle, has recently become a household name due to his outstanding performances in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Netravalkar, who previously went viral on social media for balancing his tech career with his cricketing passion, has now cemented his hero status by bowling a brilliant Super Over to secure a win for the USA against Pakistan and dismissing Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in a subsequent game

Oracle, proud of their multifaceted employee, took to social media to congratulate him. “So proud of our very own AI engineer and cricket star Saurabh Netravalkar! USA making history in the T20 World Cup,” Oracle tweeted from their official X (formerly Twitter) account. Netravalkar responded with gratitude, thanking Oracle for their support.

The heartwarming interaction quickly went viral, with fans and aspiring engineers celebrating Netravalkar’s dual achievements. The excitement, however, led to some unusual requests directed at Oracle. “Please raise his pay by 60%,” one enthusiastic user posted, while another suggested, “Allow him to focus on his game and free him from all the deadlines.”
Other fans chimed in with suggestions such as extending his leave and ensuring he isn’t bogged down with work commitments during the tournament. One particularly humorous request asked Oracle to handle H1B visa holders’ Green Card processes better to encourage more employees to make the company proud like Netravalkar.
Netravalkar’s cricketing prowess has been pivotal for the USA team, which recently qualified for the Super 8 stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Mumbai-born left-arm seamer, who represented India in the 2010 U19 World Cup, has taken four wickets in three games with an impressive economy rate of 5.20.
The USA will compete in Group 2 of the Super 8 stage, facing teams like South Africa, West Indies, and either England or Scotland. As Netravalkar continues to shine on the global stage, his story remains a testament to balancing professional commitments with personal passions, inspiring many across the globe.
