Profile
Passionate, aggressive, emotional and exuberant - these are the terms which you can firmly associate with Sreesanth. He made his internation debut against Sri Lanka at Nagpur on October 25, 2005 and snapped 2 for 39 in the match.The 'Kerala Express' is best known for his on-field antics and "break-dance skills". The fast-medium pacer is the first bowler to have taken a hat-trick for his state Kerala. His out-swingers have the ability to beat batsmen ball after ball. Sreesanth can be expensive but his wicket-taking ability is what keeps him in the side. He has a knack for hitting a few big ones down the order as well.
His fearless attitude and his courage to stare the batsman in the eye have made him an entertaining bowler to watch. He is one of the many emerging talented youngsters India has produced in the past few years.
