Sadagoppan Ramesh (சடகோபன் ரமேஷ்)About this soundpronunciation (help·info) (born 13 October 1975) is a former Indian cricketer and actor who appeared in Tamil movies.[1][2] He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler.[3] In September 1999, he became the first Indian cricketer to take a wicket off his first ball in ODI cricket.

Cricket career[edit]

Despite having a batting average of over 50 in his first six tests and proving that he could easily play against top bowlers, he did not convert his starts into big scores. He was removed from the team after India's tour of Sri Lanka when Ramesh passed 30 runs in 5 out of the 6 innings but only one innings was converted to a 50. Though he originally played for Tamil Nadu, he played domestic cricket for Kerala during 2005–06, 2006–07 seasons and Assam in the 2007–08 season.

Film career[edit]

Ramesh has acted in a Tamil movie, Santosh Subramaniam, released in April 2008.[4][5][6] He also played a lead actor for the first time in the movie Potta Potti.[7][8]

Personal life[edit]

Ramesh married Aparna in 2002. They have a daughter.

Business career[edit]

In 2019, Ramesh invested in 'Swaraas',[9] a multipurpose karaoke studio.
