Chetan Sakariya (born 28 February 1998) is an Indian cricketer, a left arm fast bowler who represents Saurashtra in domestic cricket. He made his international debut for the India cricket team in July 2021.[1]

Personal life[edit]

Sakariya hails from a village called Vartej located 180 km from Rajkot in the state of Gujarat.[2] Sheldon Jackson, a senior player in the Saurashtra team, bought him a new shoe and helped him train. Only then did Sakariya get the chance to go to the MRF Pace Foundation. Jackson and Sakariya then became close friends.[2]

Sakariya's brother committed suicide when he was playing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. Sakariya was very close to his brother and keeping this in mind, Rajasthan Royals gifted him a jersey which has initials of his late brother 'R.K' imprinted on it. The jersey also has a message written on it that says, "Miss you bro".[3]

On 9 May 2021, Sakariya's father died of COVID-19.[4]

Career[edit]

Sakariya made his List A debut for Saurashtra in the 2017–18 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 22 February 2018.[5] He made his first-class debut for Saurashtra in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 20 November 2018,[6] taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings.[7] He made his Twenty20 debut for Saurashtra in the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 21 February 2019.[8] In February 2021, Sakariya was bought by the Rajasthan Royals for 1.2 crores in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[9][10]

In June 2021, Sakariya was named in India's One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads for their series against Sri Lanka.[11] He made his ODI debut on 23 July 2021, for India against Sri Lanka.[12] His maiden international wicket was Bhanuka Rajapaksa,[13] and he finished with figures of 2 for 38.[14] He made his T20I debut on 28 July 2021, for India against Sri Lanka.[15]
