Shubham Chettri

Shubham Chettri, born on the first day of the new millennium, 1st January 2000, has steadily risen through the ranks of Indian cricket to become one of the sport's most promising batting talents. Born in the cricket-loving town of Pune, his journey began on the dusty pitches of local parks, where he quickly made a name for himself with his unwavering passion and natural talent.

From a young age, Shubham exhibited a keen cricketing intelligence and a remarkable adaptability at the crease. His early years saw him honing his skills in school tournaments, amassing runs with a delightful combination of grace and inventiveness. His performances caught the eye of state selectors, propelling him into Maharashtra’s Under-19 team, where he piled on runs, confirming his status as a prodigy.

His big break came in 2018 when he earned his debut for the Maharashtra senior team in the Ranji Trophy. Playing as a top-order batsman, Shubham quickly became known for his tenacity and composure under pressure, attributes that served him well as he faced established domestic bowlers. His breakthrough season saw him rack up impressive scores, culminating in a memorable double century against Karnataka — an innings celebrated for its blend of patience and flair.

Shubham’s contributions to Maharashtra's journey to the Ranji Trophy semi-finals in 2019 remain etched in memories, particularly his thrilling innings of 94 against a fierce Mumbai side, a classic encounter that highlighted his battle-hardened spirit and burgeoning rivalry with their bowling sensation, Rahul Chandra. Despite falling short of a century, the innings spotlighted Shubham's skill in navigating tense situations.

A right-handed batsman, Shubham’s batting style is a tapestry of classical strokes interwoven with modern innovations. His technique is a study in cricketing elegance, laced with the ability to accelerate when required. Although primarily a batsman, his part-time off-spin has often provided crucial breakthroughs, showcasing his versatility on the field.

Shubham’s journey is filled with significant moments, from being the youngest player to score a half-century in the IPL for his franchise to leading his team to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title in 2022. His journey exemplifies the impact a single player can have, not just with runs, but with moments of inspiration that galvanise a team.
