  • India

The charismatic fast bowler has won the hearts of one and all with his heartful bowling and pace. Regarded by some as India’s fastest bowlers, Sreesanth has the uncanny ability to bowl with the straightest of seams consistently. In the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008, Sreesanth became the second leading wicket taker in the tournament after Sohail Tanveer , claiming 18 wickets. Sreesanth appeared only in the second half of the 2009 edition of the IPL. He could not play the initial matches of the season owing to a stress fracture.

your biggest fan, Yashna Rampershad.

What can i say about you shree..

You are hot and had great temper and can be a true match winner. You have your own style of sending the batsmen to the pavillion after getting him out, but just be calm and cool when u got a batsmen out who hit you for some runs. That makes u look much decent and pleased and respectful.

You Rock and hope to see u back in national squad soooooon
