Eshan Sensarma

Eshan Sensarma, born on 13th December 2001, embarked upon his cricketing journey in the bustling city of Kolkata, a place teeming with cricketing tales and starry-eyed young players vying for attention. The gentle hum of willow on leather became his symphony, and by the time he was eight, the local grounds whispered of his budding talent. Eshan’s obsession with the game and particularly the art of wicketkeeping began as a kid, inspired by the legends he watched on television, imitating not just their success but their failures too, as each mistake became a stepping stone in his learning.

The transition from a prodigious talent to a professional domain came naturally. His debut with the Bengal Under-19s was a foregone conclusion to those who had seen him toil in the nets, combining acrobatic glovework behind the stumps with his remarkable right-hand batting prowess. Not one to be typecast, Eshan developed versatile bowling skills, making him an invaluable asset during strategic innings.

Eshan's journey through the ranks saw him etching his name into domestic cricket’s annals. His maiden first-class season is often fondly remembered; a sequence of stellar performances where he held onto breath-taking catches while amassing a series of decisive innings. Notably, the Ranji Trophy finals in 2023 showcased his resolute mindset—taking catches that defied gravity and rotating strike with the tenacity of an experienced campaigner, aiding in Bengal’s triumph against a formidable Karnataka side.

Perhaps one of the most riveting nuances of Eshan’s career emerged through his matches against Mumbai; an undercurrent of rivalry simmered in these duels. His tussles against their iconoclastic bowlers became folklores, with Eshan’s nimble-stroke play consistently threading through their field formations, providing cricketing feasts fans would savour for years.

Eshan's playing style is a beautiful mess of lunging dives, quicksilver reflexes, and calculated audacity—traits that leave an indelible mark. A batsman who meticulously judges the field placements, he plays with a calm audacity, dispatching deliveries to the ropes with stylish precision. The ball dances to his arcane rhythm, and even his occasional foray into bowling encapsulates the spontaneity and charm he brings every time he steps onto the field.

There is a sense of unanticipated artistry in Eshan’s cricket, a touch of unpredictability that keeps the opposition guessing and the spectators mesmerised. Each moment with him on the field is a reminder of cricket's unpredictable beauty, defined as much by chaos as elegance, much like Eshan Sensarma himself.
