Sachin Baby: A Cricketing Journey of Resilience and Regional Dominance
About Him
Sachin Baby, a left-handed batter from Kerala, is often mistaken for cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar due to his name. However, he has carved his own identity in Indian domestic cricket since his debut in 2009. Despite limited opportunities at the national level, his consistency in regional tournaments highlights his dedication to the sport .
Early Career
Born with a passion for cricket, Sachin Baby emerged as a promising talent in Kerala’s youth circuits. By his early 20s, he became a mainstay in the state’s middle order, showcasing technical soundness and adaptability across formats. His breakthrough came in 2013 when Rajasthan Royals (RR) acquired him in the IPL, though he struggled to secure regular playing time .
Domestic Career
Since 2009, Baby has been the backbone of Kerala’s batting lineup in Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. His ability to anchor innings and rotate strike makes him a reliable middle-order fixture. While he hasn’t dominated with explosive scores, his steady contributions have kept Kerala competitive in low-scoring encounters .
International Career
Despite years of domestic excellence, Sachin Baby has yet to represent India internationally. Limited opportunities and fierce competition in the national team’s batting department have kept him confined to regional cricket. However, his performances continue to earn respect among peers and selectors .
IPL Career
Sachin Baby’s IPL journey began in 2013 with RR, where he was a backup option. Over subsequent seasons, he featured sparingly, managing only 16 runs in three matches before fading out of contention. His last IPL appearance was in 2021, underscoring the challenges faced by players outside the star-studded core .
Other T20 Leagues & T10 Leagues
Unlike many contemporaries, Baby hasn’t ventured into global T20 leagues like the Big Bash League (BBL) or Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Similarly, there’s no record of him participating in T10 leagues, reflecting a career centered on domestic and IPL commitments .
Legacy
Though overshadowed by his namesake, Sachin Baby’s legacy lies in his perseverance. He remains a role model for Kerala cricketers, proving that consistency in domestic cricket can sustain a career even without global recognition. His story underscores the importance of resilience in a hyper-competitive environment
