Born on the first day of the Millennium in the cricket-loving nation of Bangladesh, Anisul Sanny has crafted a remarkable story in the world of cricket. From his earliest days in Dhaka, where cricket is played in every alley and street, Sanny was drawn to the role behind the stumps—a place where his quick reflexes and sharp cricketing mind could thrive.

Anisul's journey began in the dusty and bustling cricket grounds of his local club. Even as a young boy, his potential was evident, his lithe frame darting behind the stumps to snag what seemed like impossible catches. He honed his keen instincts and agile footwork while keeping wicket, developing a presence that challenged batsmen to think twice before attempting a steal. Simultaneously, he nurtured his batting skills, striving for a technique that complemented his aggressive style. His right-handed batting, characterised by a mixture of classical strokes and improvisation, made him a constant thorn in the opposition's side.

By 18, he had already made waves in the domestic circuit and caught the eye of national selectors, leading to his professional debut in 2019. Sanny's debut was nothing short of a spectacle, with his deft glove work and pivotal cameo with the bat which heralded the arrival of a new talent for Bangladesh. His versatility as a part-time bowler added an unexpected dimension to his game, confounding teams that looked past his latent bowling skills.

Throughout his career, Anisul chiselled his way into the annals of Bangladesh cricket through a series of memorable performances. His electrifying stumping and crucial half-century during the closely contested 2023 Asia Cup against India will be remembered as a definitive moment in his career, underscoring his ability to impact high-pressure games. Rivalries, particularly with players from neighbouring cricketing powerhouses, bloomed, each encounter adding layers to his growing legend.

Sanny's style is a testament to his understanding of the game's nuances. While his primary role is behind the stumps, his ability to adapt to various match situations with either bat or ball sets him apart. As a wicketkeeper who bats with flair and occasionally turns the ball over with surprise spells, his tenacity and propulsion into cricket’s spotlight have inspired countless youngsters in Bangladesh.

Anisul Sanny remains a dynamic force on the field, championing the spirit of cricket through his unwavering commitment and sensational performances, leaving an indelible mark on the sport he reveres.
