Sachin Baby (born 18 December 1988) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Kerala in domestic cricket.[1] He is a left-handed middle-order batsman and occasional right-arm off spinner.[2]

Early life and education

Sachin was born on 18 December 1988 on Machiplavu near Adimali in Idukki district of Kerala.[3][4] He was named after Sachin Tendulkar by his parents.[5] He completed his early education from Vishwadeepthi Public School and SNDP School.[4]

Cricket career

Sachin made his first-class debut for Kerala on 3 November 2009 in the 2009–10 Ranji Trophy.[6] He made his List A debut for Kerala on 13 February 2011 in the 2010–11 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[7] He made his Twenty20 debut for Kerala on 16 October 2011 in the 2011–12 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[8]

Sachin scored heavily in the 2012–13 Vijay Hazare Trophy hitting 298 runs from seven matches with an average of 74.50.[9] He scored his maiden List A century in the quarter-finals of the tournament, securing a place for Kerala in the final four.[10] He represented South Zone in the 2012–13 Deodhar Trophy.[11]

In August 2013, Sachin was named to the India A squad to play three unofficial ODIs against New Zealand A team.[12]

Sachin was named Kerala's captain in the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy and made his maiden first-class century with an unbeaten 200 in the season.[13] He scored a career-best score of 250 in the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy in the match against Services and was declared the man of the match.[14]

Sachin was the captain of the Kerala team which qualified to play the quarter-finals of Ranji Trophy for the first time in the 2017–18 season.[15] This was followed by the team's historical entry to the semi-finals of the tournament in the next season, again under his leadership.[16]

Sachin's partnership of 338 runs with Sanju Samson in the match against Goa in the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy is the highest partnership in List-A cricket for Indian cricket and third highest in the format.[17]

Indian Premier League

Sachin was signed by Rajasthan Royals ahead of the 2013 Indian Premier League.[18] However, he hardly got any batting opportunities in the four matches he represented the team.[19][20]

Sachin was picked by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2016 auction.[21] He played 11 matches in the season, scoring just 119 runs with an average of 29.75.[22]

In January 2018, Sachin was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2018 IPL auction.[23] In February 2021, Sachin was bought again by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[24]

Personal life

Sachin married his girlfriend Anna Chandy on 5 January 2017, at St Sebastain's Church, Thodupuzha.[25] The couple have a son.[26]

Sachin released the official teaser of his YouTube channel Sachin Baby Official on 15 July 2020.[27]
