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.
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] .
