'''Krishnamachari Srikkanth''' {{audio|Krishnamachari_Srikkanth.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 21 December 1959) also known as '''Kris Srikkanth''' is a former captain of the [[Indian cricket team]] and former chairman of the selection committee. He played a crucial part in India's win in 1983 Cricket World Cup by contributing crucial 38 runs as a top scorer. He represented [[Tamil Nadu]] in the Indian domestic circuit. He is also a commentator on Star Sports Tamil.

==Career==
Srikkanth played domestic cricket, for [[Tamil Nadu]] and South Zone. He made his [[One Day International]] debut against England in [[Ahmedabad]] in 1981, followed two days later by his [[Test cricket|Test]] debut against England at [[Mumbai|Bombay]] at the age of 21. He opened the innings partnering [[Sunil Gavaskar]]. Known for his aggressive batting style, he was an early role model for opening batsmen in future years to adopt a similar approach.

As he matured, he tempered his aggression somewhat and became a mainstay of the [[Indian cricket team]]. He was an integral member of the Indian squad when they won the [[1983 Cricket World Cup|1983 Prudential World Cup]] and 1985 Benson & Hedges [[World Championship of Cricket]]. In the 1983 World Cup final against the West Indies, Srikkanth top-scored in the finals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Scorecard, 1983 World Cup Final|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/65090.html|publisher=ESPN Cricinfo|access-date=19 May 2014}}</ref>

He was made the [[Indian national cricket captains|captain of the Indian team]] in 1989, incidentally under his captaincy [[Sachin Tendulkar]] made his debut. He remained the captain of the team for India's tour of Pakistan in 1990 and managed to draw all the Tests of the series. But the selectors were disappointed with his batting failures and dropped him. He returned two years later and played for another year before being dropped again. He retired from international cricket in 1993. He was the first Indian player to score a half-century and pick up 5 wickets in an ODI. He achieved this feat against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] at [[Visakhapatnam]] in 1988.

Srikkanth holds the unusual distinction of scoring the only run ever scored in international cricket at [[Ray Mitchell Oval]], in [[Mackay, Queensland|Mackay, Australia]]. The venue hosted its only international match during the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]], and the match was washed out after two deliveries.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/55/55551.html|title=India vs Sri Lanka|access-date=11 December 2011|publisher=Cricket Archive}}</ref>

In June 2013, Srikkanth participated in the 6th season of [[Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/television/news/2013/krishnamachari-srikkanth-contestant-in-jhalak-6-111240.html | title= Krishnamachari Srikkanth contesting in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6}}</ref>

==Style==
Srikkanth was an opening [[batsman]] noted for his aggressive attacking strokes in contrast to his first batting partner and senior [[Sunil Gavaskar]]. He is the pioneer in Pinch-hitting in ODIs at least a decade before Mark Greatbatch started in the 1992 World-Cup & Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya much later. He was known to take risks even in the early part of the innings, often scoring boundaries over the inner ring of fielders. He shares three 100-run ODI partnerships with [[Ravi Shastri]] which included the first for India in ODI.

==Post retirement==
After retirement he had a stint as the coach of the India 'A' team. He has since been a broadcaster and commentator with various sports and news channels. On 18 February 2008, Krish Srikkanth was named the ambassador for the [[Chennai Super Kings]] franchise of [[Indian Premier League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/02/19/stories/2008021956851800.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080302025925/http://www.hindu.com/2008/02/19/stories/2008021956851800.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 March 2008 |title=Sport / Cricket : It is Kings |date=19 February 2008 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2009-09-23}}</ref>
