Bengaluru: Here’s good news for Odisha. Cricketer Subhranshu Senapati, who will lead Odisha in the upcoming Ranji Trophy, was picked by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for Rs 20 lakh on the second day of the IPL 2022 mega auction here on Sunday.
Notably, he was called for trials by Chennai Super Kings in December last year after his recent performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he had scored a hundred against Andhra Pradesh, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Lakshmipathy Balaji, Arun Karthik and Ambati Rayudu had supervised the trials and given him positive feedback.
The right-handed middle-order batter also went to Mumbai Indians’ trials, which were supervised by Parthiv Patel. However, the trials of Punjab Kings and Lucknow Supergiants had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic.
Subhranshu made his senior debut in the 2016/17 season and has since established himself as Odisha’s batting mainstay. He has so far amassed 1854 runs from 34 first-class matches at an average of 37.83, including five centuries and seven fifties. The Keonjhar-born also has 637 T20 runs to his credit at an average of 28.95 and a strike rate of 122.26.
He had also featured in the IPL 2021 auction list but remained unsold.
