Varun Prasath Thamotharam

Varun Prasath Thamotharam's cricketing journey began in the bustling streets of Chennai, where his love for the game was ignited by casual play and matches with friends. Born on 12th November 1988, Varun quickly developed a reputation as a versatile allrounder, his left-hand batting and left-arm fast-medium bowling making him a feared opponent even at a young age. It wasn't long before his talent caught the eye of local coaches, and his progression through the junior cricket ranks was swift and assured.

As Varun transitioned into professional cricket, his debut was long-anticipated by those who had tracked his progress. Stepping onto the field for the first time at the state level, he immediately made an impact, showcasing an uncanny ability to switch gears with the bat and deliver penetrating spells with the ball. His allround abilities became a cornerstone for his team, leading them to numerous championships in domestic competitions.

Achievements flowed throughout his career, each leaving a mark on his glowing cricket tenure. Notably, Varun's 2017 season stands out; he not only clinched the highest run-scorer title in the premier league but also topped the bowling charts, a first for any player in the league's history. His ability to steer his side to victory with both bat and ball became his trademark, turning many tight matches into memorable wins.

Several matches against arch-rivals defined Varun’s competitive spirit. His celebrated rivalry with a neighbouring state's formidable bowling attack will be remembered for the nail-biting finishes and strategic brilliance. These encounters often featured Varun pulling off miraculous last-over victories, either with a boundary-laden assault or turning the tide with his lethal in-swingers.

Varun’s playing style has always been marked by his adaptable batting, capable of dictating the pace of an innings with aggressive flair or resilient defence. As a bowler, his sharp left-arm deliveries often swung late, disrupting the best-laid plans of batsmen.
