Sangeeth Vijayan

Sangeeth Vijayan's cricketing odyssey began in the bustling streets of Kochi, India, where he was born on October 13, 1999. From those early days marked by makeshift matches in narrow bylanes, the young right-hander's journey to professional cricket seemed inevitable. Growing up, Sangeeth was a standout—his quick reflexes with the bat and a fiercely accurate right-arm pace marked him as a natural allrounder.

The initial spark of talent was soon honed when he joined a local cricket academy, under the guidance of experienced coaches who recognised his raw talent and determination. Sangeeth's transition from local clubs to regional teams was swift, his innate ability to adapt and thrive in pressure situations setting him apart. The domestic circuit became accustomed to his name when at the age of 19, he smashed his first century in a local league final, ensuring victory for his team and capturing the scouts' attention.

Making his professional debut for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy, Sangeeth quickly established himself as a key player, amassing an impressive number of runs and vital wickets. His sharp, attacking style and the ability to swing the ball both ways made him a formidable bowler. Often referred to as a thinking cricketer, his knack for setting up batsmen and strategic field placements garnered accolades.

One of the highlights of his career came during a heated rivalry in the domestic T20 league against Karnataka. During the semi-final clash, with stakes high and tensions mounting, Sangeeth dug deep to secure a thrilling victory for Kerala, his deft 81-run knock coupled with two critical wickets steering the team home in front of a frenzied crowd.

His dominance on the pitch has not just been with bat or ball; his presence inspires teammates and uplifts the spirit of the cadre. His journey so far has set significant benchmarks, particularly that match-winning performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final last year where his all-round capabilities once again shone brightly, scoring a crucial fifty and taking three wickets which led his team to victory.

Sangeeth Vijayan’s career, still burgeoning, highlights a relentless pursuit of excellence and a flair for pivotal match moments that leave both fans and opponents in awe. His story, etched with perseverance and passion, continues to inspire aspiring cricketers across the nation.
