Anthony Kishore, born on the 1st of September 1996, embarked on his cricketing odyssey in the vibrant lanes of Bristol, where he first picked up a bat at the tender age of six. A precocious talent, Anthony quickly rose through the ranks at local cricket clubs, his flair with the bat catching the eye of county scouts eager for a glimpse of something extraordinary. By the time he was 15, he had already captained his school team to the national championships, a clear harbinger of the great things to come.

Anthony’s professional debut came amidst an air of anticipation, making his first appearance for Somerset in the County Championship on a delightfully balmy afternoon in 2015. It didn’t take long for him to make his mark; in just his third match, Anthony scored an unbeaten century, displaying a poise and aggression that left seasoned cricket pundits purring in admiration.

Over the years, Anthony has become renowned for his versatility at the crease, crafting innings with the steady composure of a seasoned pro and unleashing a dazzling array of shots that make him a nightmare for bowlers. His right-hand batting style is characterised by an elegant drive and an uncanny ability to find the gaps, not to mention a knack for pacing an innings to perfection.

One of his crowning glories came in 2021 when he played a pivotal role in Somerset's triumphant bid for the County Champions title. His contribution of over 800 runs in the season, including two decisive centuries against arch-rivals Surrey, earned him the Player of the Tournament accolade and a cemented place in the hearts of Somerset fans.

Not just a specialist with the bat, Anthony’s occasional forays with the ball have added another feather to his cap. Though not a regular bowler, his right-arm medium pace has unravelled batting line-ups at opportune moments, proving particularly useful in one-day formats.

Perhaps the most unforgettable match, though, was his exhilarating duel with Yorkshire in the semi-final of the One-Day Cup. Chasing a daunting total, Anthony’s 150-run blitz carried Somerset to victory with just two balls to spare—a performance that still echoes in the annals of English domestic cricket.

Anthony Kishore’s journey is one of grit and grace, marked by moments that have not only defined his career but have also enriched the tapestry of English cricket.
