Ketan Shetty

Ketan Shetty, born on 15th September 1993, has etched a name for himself in the cricketing world as a versatile allrounder. Hailing from the bustling streets of Bangalore, Shetty's cricketing odyssey began in local parks where he first honed his skills. It wasn't long before the local leagues took notice of his flair both with the bat and the ball.

As a youngster, Ketan was a left-handed batting prodigy. His ability to adapt and anchor the team’s innings made him stand out. Complementing his batting prowess was his slow left-arm orthodox bowling, a discipline that added a strategic edge to his game. With a knack for extracting turn on even unyielding surfaces, he quickly climbed the ranks in domestic cricket. It was no surprise when he made his professional debut for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy at the age of 20.

Over the years, Shetty's career has been punctuated with several remarkable achievements. One defining moment came during the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy season when he propelled his team to victory, emerging as both the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker in the final. This performance earned him a call-up to the India A team, where he continued to impress.

Arguably, one of the most memorable episodes of his career was during the intense regional face-off between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In a match that could swing either way, Ketan's all-round brilliance—with a disciplined 84 on a tricky pitch followed by a five-wicket haul—secured a memorable win, likely cementing his legacy in the annuals of this regional rivalry.

Ketan's playing style exhibits an unusual blend of patience and aggression. As a batsman, he thrives under pressure, crafting innings with deft footwork and an array of strokes that keep the opposition guessing. His relaxed grip on the bat allows for fluid shots, a feature that has embarrassed many a bowler. With the ball, his classical action and the subtle variations in pace and flight make him a formidable opponent in both shorter formats and longer games.

Beyond numbers, Shetty’s impact lies in his ability to thrive in crunch situations, a trait that has often lifted team morale and swung matches in his side's favour. As he continues to mature, there's little doubt that Ketan Shetty will remain an influential figure in the tapestry of Indian cricket.
