HIGHLY-RATED Indian spinner Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore has signed for Surrey for two Rothesay County Championship fixtures.
The left-arm spinner plays for Gujurat Titans in the IPL and captain’s Tamil Nadu in the Indian domestic red ball competition, the Ranji Trophy.
The 6ft3ins bowler will be available for Surrey’s next two County Championship matches in which the Kookaburra ball will be used.
These are the trips to Scarborough to play Yorkshire (22-25 July) and to Chester-le-Street to take on Durham (29 July-1 August).
Sai Kishore has played for India in three IT20s and has also taken 192 first-class wickets at an average of 23.5.
Having represented Gujurat Titans in India’s premier T20 competition since 2022, the spinner has taken 32 wickets at an average of just over 20.
With a career-best high score of 81, he also offers useful lower-order runs.
On signing for the club, Sai Kishore said: “I’m really excited to be joining Surrey for the next two County Championship matches. Surrey are one of the most prestigious clubs in the world and I have heard great things about the set-up from lots of different people in the game.”
Alec Stewart, high-performance advisor, added: “I’m delighted to bring the highly rated Sai Kishore into our squad for the next two Kookaburra games.
“All the reports I have received from people I respect in the Indian game have spoken highly of him. His four-day record for Tamil Nadu is very good and he brings leadership experience to the group.”
