Aniket Verma

Aniket Verma, born on February 5, 2002, in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, is a young Indian cricketer who represents Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket. Known for his aggressive batting style, Aniket is primarily a middle to lower-order right-handed batter who can also bowl medium pace. He gained recognition for his explosive performances in the Madhya Pradesh League T20, where he scored the first-ever century in the tournament's history with 123 runs off just 41 balls, including 13 sixes and eight fours.

Aniket's electrifying displays caught the attention of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who acquired him for ₹30 lakh in the IPL 2025 auction15. Despite having played only one professional T20 match, Aniket's potential as a power-hitter aligns with SRH's aggressive batting approach. He is expected to be used as an impact player, possibly batting at No. 4 or further down the order, depending on team composition. Aniket's inclusion in SRH's squad reflects the team's strategy to nurture young talent and provide them with opportunities to shine in the IPL.
