Saransh Jain's maiden India Test call-up at the age of 33 is the culmination of a journey shaped by perseverance, family support and a handwritten note from his father that became a source of strength during one of the toughest phases of their lives.
The selectors announced the India squad on Tuesday while Saransh was offering prayers at a Hanuman temple in Indore, a weekly routine whenever he is in the city. He missed the first phone call informing him of his selection.
