Ripon Ahmed

Ripon Ahmed, born on New Year’s Day in 2003, emerged on the cricketing scene with the kind of precocious talent that whispers promises of greatness. Hailing from a small town where cricket was more than just a pastime, it was a way of life, Ripon’s cricketing journey began in the dust and grass of local grounds. From playing barefoot with a homemade bat, Ripon’s childhood was steeped in an unwavering passion for the game, a passion that was nurtured by supportive parents and a community that rallied around its rising star.

Early on, Ripon had an uncanny knack for scoring runs and a natural elegance at the crease. His adaptability was evident from the beginning, as he seamlessly transitioned between defensive technique and aggressive strokeplay depending on the game situation. By the age of 15, he was already setting local league records and catching the eyes of regional scouts with his prodigious talent and a maturity beyond his years.

Making his professional debut at 18, Ripon quickly established himself as a linchpin of his team’s batting line-up. His first notable achievement came during the National T20 Championship in 2021, where his blistering innings of 88 not out under pressure was pivotal in securing a title for his side. That tournament marked his arrival on the national stage, but it was just the beginning.

Notorious for his adaptability, Ripon's playing style was a blend of technical proficiency and situational awareness. Whether anchoring the innings or accelerating the score, his batting was marked by fluid footwork and impeccable timing. Interestingly, while primarily a batsman, Ripon’s bowling, often an underestimated yet versatile arm in his arsenal, occasionally came to the fore, particularly in tight situations where his tactical acumen was lauded.

One of the matches defining his career was a thrilling encounter against Rivals XI, where Ripon’s strategic 75 runs under dim lights became the stuff of local legend—memories of sublime drives through cover and audacious scoops that left both opponents and fans in awe.

Ripon Ahmed stands as a beacon of promise and potential in the world of cricket.
