Krishnan Shrijith

Krishnan Lakshmanan Shrijith, born on August 12, 1996, in Bangalore, is an Indian cricketer who plays as a left-handed batter and wicket-keeper for the Karnataka cricket team and Mumbai Indians. He made his T20 debut during the 2020–21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in early 2021. In 2024, Shrijith showcased his batting prowess by scoring a blistering 51-ball century in the Maharaja T20 Trophy.

Later that year, he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Karnataka in November, scoring a century against Uttar Pradesh in Lucknow. In December 2024, during the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he played a match-winning innings of 150 off 101 balls to help Karnataka chase down a target of 383 against Mumbai, marking his first List-A century. This feat was the second-highest successful run chase in the tournament's history and made him the tenth batsman to score a century on debut for Karnataka.

Shrijith's consistent performances earned him his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) contract when he was signed by Mumbai Indians during the IPL 2025 mega auction. Known for his sharp wicket-keeping skills and aggressive batting, he has become a key player in domestic cricket and is considered a promising talent for Indian cricket's future.
