Born on the first day of 2005, Shrey Sethi's rise in the world of cricket has been nothing short of remarkable. From an early age in the bustling city of Pune, Shrey showed a keen interest in the game, often found with bat and gloves in the neighbourhood parks. His early cricketing exploits were marked by a natural flair and adaptability, traits that have become hallmarks of his career.

As a wicketkeeper, Shrey was known for his sharp reflexes and agility, earning accolades in school tournaments. His batting was equally versatile, with an ability to adapt to any situation, whether it required resilience against a fiery pace attack or acceleration during run chases. His early promise was evident when he was selected for the Maharashtra Under-15 team, a springboard that propelled him into the competitive world of junior cricket.

Shrey's professional debut arrived when he donned the gloves for the Maharashtra Ranji team at the tender age of 18.

His performance was not just a debut but a declaration, reaffirming his place as one of India's promising young keepers.

One of Shrey’s career-defining spells came during the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he not only exhibited his expertise behind the stumps but also contributed crucial runs in the lower order. His quickfire 45 against Tamil Nadu became legendary, changing the dynamics of a game that appeared lost. His ability to switch gears—from defensive guile to aggressive onslaught—has often left opponents befuddled.

Throughout his career, Shrey has played in numerous high-stakes matches, yet no rivalry has been as thrilling as the one against Delhi. Each face-off has been charged with tension, as Shrey's commanding presence behind the stumps and clutch performances with the bat turned him into a fan favourite.
