Sangeeth Udayan

Sangeeth Udayan, born on New Year’s Day in 2000, has a story that is as captivating as his cricket exploits on the field. Originating from the vibrant cricket-loving lanes of Chennai, his passionate tryst with the sport began when he was merely six, wielding a worn-out bat in street cricket matches against children much older than himself. From these humble beginnings, Sangeeth’s love for cricket morphed into a career that navigated him to the grand theatres of international cricket.

Sangeeth’s journey surged forward after his exuberant performances for the Tamil Nadu Under-15 team. His fortitude and flair with the bat didn’t go unnoticed, and soon he found himself donning the state cap, making his first-class debut at the tender age of 18. With an uncanny ability to tailor his batting approach to any situation, Sangeeth quickly established himself as a dependable middle-order batsman. His adaptability was nowhere more evident than in a thrilling Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai, where his gritty century in the fourth innings not only saved the match but left an indelible mark on everyone who witnessed it.

Sangeeth’s penchant for big occasions shone brightly during the 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer, amassing 550 runs, including three centuries, and played a pivotal role in leading Tamil Nadu to victory. His outstanding knock of 123 against Karnataka in the finals was a masterclass in composure, earning him widespread acclaim.

Beyond his formidable batting, Sangeeth’s part-time spin bowling added an unexpected string to his bow. While not a primary bowler, his ability to contribute crucial overs was highlighted in a local derby, where his timely wickets tilted the scales in Tamil Nadu’s favour, fortifying his status as an all-around threat on the field.

Rivalries have defined Sangeeth’s career, none more so than his contests against Kerala’s fiery pacer, Arjun Nair. These duels personified the essence of cricket - intense yet respectful, with both players pushing each other to their limits.

Sangeeth Udayan's career is emblematic of talent meeting perseverance. His rise is a testament to his prowess and resilience, each match an opportunity that underscored an impact far beyond numbers. As the cricketing world anticipates his next steps, Sangeeth remains a beacon of inspiration for budding cricketers across the nation.
