Profile

Unconventional in his honing following unsatisfactory exploits as a discus-thrower, Abhimanyu Mithun's rise in cricket has been nothing short of express. Within 2 years of picking a rubber ball, Mithun was already holding the coveted red cherry for India.


In those 2 years, a domestic hat-trick for Karnataka and selection to the IPL lottery for Bangalore buttressed his steady rise. Before his 21st birthday, Mithun had already featured in 3 Tests and 2 ODIs for India. Following injuries to various frontline seamers, the Bangalore lad boarded the flight to Sri Lanka in 2010, taking a four-fer on debut and displaying excellent resilience as a tail-ender to level the series for India, all continued to start a meteoric rise, sure to be envied by many of his peers.


Fast Facts

  • He ended the 2009-10 Ranji Trophy as the tournament's leading wicket-taker with 47 dismissals.
  • Mithun is Karnataka's second hat-trick man in Ranjis, the first one being Javagal Srinath.
