In this Indian name, the name Napoleon is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Einstein.

Napoleon Einstein (born 16 August 1989) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed opening batsman. He played in the Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings.

Einstein made his List A debut for Tamil Nadu against Kerala in a Ranji One-Day Trophy match at Secunderabad in February 2007. Opening the batting, he scored 92, putting on 203 for the first wicket with Murali Vijay to set up a 46-run win.[1] A month later, he played against Assam in the same competition but this time made only 1.[2]

He has been batting,[3] and bowling off spinners[4] in under-19 tournaments and has been selected for the Indian team for the under-19 World cup to be held in Malaysia in Feb 2008.[5] India went on to win the under-19 world cup.

Name[edit]

Napoleon's personal explanation of his unusual name. "My grandfather was a scientist. He wrote a letter to Albert Einstein and even got a reply from him. I've got no idea [what the letter was about] even though I've read it. My mother was a physics graduate and she teaches Physics in one of the schools. So I'm Einstein. Napoleon is my father's name."

"We don't believe in God. In our family, we're rationalists. Other people are named Krishna and Ram after Gods, so we were named Einstein and Napoleon after great people "
