Full name Murali Kartik Born September 11, 1976, Chennai, Tamil Nadu Current age 29 years Major teams India, Lancashire, Railways Playing role Left Arm Spinner Batting style Left-hand Bat
Murali Kartik debuted for India in 1999-'00 and caught the attention of many as a very handy left arm spinner. Though always being overshadowed by Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik is remembered most for his performance against Australia in Mumbai in 2004-'05 when he took 7 wickets. He has played over 100 First Class matches for Railways in India and also dabbled with Lancashire. However, after being replaced by teenager Piyush Chawla in the Indian squad, chances of a comeback by him seem bleak. However, he continues to put up a good show in the domestic championships. Murali Kartik has not been able to enjoy the confidence of the selectors and captains and so either he not been selected often or being underbowled, in spite of being a very handy bowler.
