Preferred to play 1 down but always opened the innings due to the absence of a solid opener in any club i played.I am basically a defensive batsman,i love playing the longer version of the game,i generally opt out myself from the shorter versions though i can hit the ball a long long way.I feel defensive cricket is the best one to play/watch.I played club cricket in Madras for nearly 13 years and was an aspiring cricketer in my young ages but like so many others,i have now graduated BE and working in a MNC.I do bowl leg spin rarely,i can also do wicket keeping to some extent.I am basically a professional firstslipfielder.
