Tarun Sandhu-Profile

Tarun Sandhu is a true Punjab Firebird, a right-arm fast bowler, who is now the spearhead of the Trojan Pace Battery. He emerged as an exciting prospect in the 2007 summer league season for USC, and has since grown in experience and versatility.

The tall right-armer made his presence felt even in the SCCA; he won the player of the series award in the Kirgin Cellar's Invitational tourney, where he played amongst some of the biggest names in cricket in California. He was also a part of the INDIA West team which won the 2008 LA Open Championship. His ability to generate pace and bounce and take prized wickets even on placid tracks makes him one of the most feared bowlers in the SCCA.

Sandhu aka Steve, is also the Vice Captain of the USC team. Tarun Sandhu was instrumental in guiding the highly acclaimed Trojan pace attack and was awarded the Highest Wickettaker award for 35 wickets in 12 matches along with two Six Wicket hauls against Cal Bel and Westwood. He also took a record 2 hattricks in the 2009 season, against Westwood and Hollywood.
