Koranit Suwanchonrathi

Born on New Year's Day in 2005, Koranit Suwanchonrathi's journey into the world of cricket started in the bustling streets of Bangkok, Thailand, where he first held a cricket bat amidst the fervour of local street games. From these modest beginnings, the right-handed batsman quickly emerged as a prodigious talent, dazzling with his innate ability to send cricket balls soaring to all corners of the field.

Koranit's rise to prominence in the world of cricket was meteoric. From captaining his school team to state championships, his early years were marked by a relentless drive to refine his technique. His dedication paid off when, at the tender age of 17, he made his professional debut for Thailand’s national team. It was a debut to remember, where his composed fifty against a much stronger opponent signaled the arrival of a promising talent on the international stage.

Throughout his burgeoning career, Koranit has been instrumental in several remarkable victories and has carved a unique space for himself in Thai cricket history. His ability to stabilise an innings and accelerate at will was on full display during Thailand’s inaugural win against a Full Member nation, a match that saw him craft an unbeaten 82, a knock filled with crisp stroke play and calculated risk-taking. Another highlight was his pivotal role in Thailand's maiden T20 tournament success, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer, showcasing his knack for big-game performances.

While batting is Koranit’s forte, he occasionally rolls his arm over as a right-arm fast-medium bowler. Although not his calling card, his bowling has often been a useful surprise element, capable of breaking partnerships with a deceptive, skiddy delivery.

Koranit's style is a blend of classical technique and modern aggression. His straight drives and cuts through the off-side are reminiscent of the cricketing greats he idolised growing up. Yet it’s his determination and cricketing acumen that truly set him apart. Known for his mental fortitude, his career has been punctuated by innings of immense concentration and flair, often stepping up when his team needed him the most.

Koranit’s rapid ascent has not been without its challenges, but his remarkable ability to decode bowlers and read matches has made him a linchpin of his team. His presence on the pitch is more than just about runs; it embodies the spirit of a player who continuously strives to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the game.
