Anirudha Srikkanth (born 14 April 1987)[1] is an Indian former professional cricketer. He was born in Madras; his father is cricketer Kris Srikkanth. He has played for Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.[2]
An attacking opening batsman, much like his father, Anirudha made his first-class debut in the 2003–04 season as a 16-year-old. He was in and out of the Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy squad in the following seasons but enjoyed greater success in the limited-overs format and topped the number of runs scored for India under-19s against the touring England under-19 side in 2004–05.[3] His record in the Twenty20 format has been impressive, finishing the third-highest run-scorer in the inter-state Twenty20 in 2007.[4]
He was married to a model, Arthi Venkatesh.
Indian Premier League
He had played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) between 2008 and 2013 in the Indian Premier League.
In the 2010 semi-final against Deccan Chargers, he scored 24 runs from 15 deliveries, hitting two sixes and a four.
His most significant IPL stint came in the 2011 season, where he played 9 games. Given the opportunity to open the batting in the absence of incumbent Michael Hussey, Srikkanth started strongly with a vital 64(55) that helped CSK seal a tight two-run victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener.[5] However, he was unable to sustain this momentum, and would only go on to score a further 19 runs in the remainder of the season.[6]
In the 2012 season he scored 18 from six balls in a low scoring match against Rajasthan Royals.[7]
In the 2014 mega auction, Srikkanth was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹20 lakh.[8] However, he only played a solitary game for the franchise, making 3 runs in 5 balls as the Sunrisers were undone by the eventual champions Kolkata Knight Riders.[9] He was released prior to the 2015 auction, and would not make another appearance in the league.[10]
