Venkatesh Iyer: The All-Rounder Who Rose from Accounts to Stardom

Unconventional Beginnings
A “bright student” with a Chartered Accountancy degree and an MBA in finance, Venkatesh Iyer worked at Deloitte in 2018 before choosing cricket over spreadsheets 27. His towering 6’3″ frame and pace-bowling prowess masked a late-blooming talent.

Domestic Dominance

  • Breakthrough (2020-21) : Smashed 198 off 146 balls vs. Punjab (Vijay Hazare Trophy) and averaged 75.66 in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, earning his KKR IPL debut for ₹20 lakh 87.
  • 2023-24 Resurgence : Scored 550+ Ranji runs and bowled consistently post-injury, proving his all-round value 79.

IPL Meteoric Rise

International Journey

  • Debuted in T20Is (2021) and ODIs (2022) as India’s finisher, but struggled to cement his spot 67.
  • Ankle injury in 2022-23 halted momentum, forcing a reboot as a specialist batter 7.

The Comeback King
Venkatesh’s resilience shone in 2024:

  • Ranji Trophy : 550 runs + wickets, showcasing all-round grit.
  • IPL 2024 : 4 fifties @ 158 SR, proving he’s more than a finisher 49.

Why He’s Unique
A rare blend of power-hitting (198 in Vijay Hazare), medium-pace nuance , and a fighter’s mindset —Venkatesh embodies the modern all-rounder India craves. 🏏💥

Early Promise & U19 Stardom

The Next Shubman Gill?

Ajinkya Rahane: The Silent Storm Redefining Resilience

Personal Profile
Hailing from Dombivli’s gritty suburbs, Ajinkya Rahane’s journey from matted wickets to global cricket is a tale of relentless dedication. A middle-class prodigy, he honed his craft under Pravin Amre, rising through junior ranks with monk-like focus. Rahane’s unassuming demeanor masks a steely resolve, earning him the title of Mumbai’s “Silent Storm” 12.

International Mastery
Rahane’s Test career blossomed overseas:

  • 2013-2014 : Announced himself with a gritty 51* against South Africa’s pace battery, followed by a maiden ton in New Zealand and a Lord’s century (103) that ended India’s 28-year drought there.
  • 2014-2015 : Dominated Australia with a Boxing Day 147, forming a legendary 262-run stand with Virat Kohli.
  • Global Versatility : Scored centuries in every Test nation except South Africa (96*) and Bangladesh (98*), overcoming a shaky home record with twin tons vs. SA in 2015 34.

A World Cup 2015 hero (79* vs. SA), Rahane’s ODI career was stifled by India’s stacked top order but remains a Test titan 5.

Domestic Dominance

  • Ranji Titan : Burst onto the scene with 1,089 runs in his second season, anchoring Mumbai’s dominance.
  • 2024-25 Resurgence : Led Mumbai to Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy glory, smashing 469 runs as captain—proving age is no barrier 6.

IPL Journey: From Struggles to Captaincy

  • Rajasthan Royals (2011-2022) :
    • 2012 Breakthrough : 550+ runs, maiden IPL ton.
    • 2013-2016 : Pillar of consistency, famed for calculated aggression.
  • Chennai Super Kings (2023) : Revived career with 326 runs @ 172.48 SR, aiding CSK’s 5th title.
  • Kolkata Knight Riders (2025) : Named captain, Rahane aims to reignite KKR’s campaign with his tactical acumen 78.

Legacy
A technician’s technician, Rahane’s compact drives and short-ball mastery set him apart. Dropped post-2022, he roared back via domestic cricket—a testament to his unyielding spirit. In an era of flamboyance, Rahane’s quiet brilliance remains cricket’s gold standard. 🏏✨
