Saurabh Netravalkar Overview

Saurabh Netravlkar’s Bio

Saurabh Netravalkar is a quirky left-arm pacer who can also bat a bit. He was part of the India U19 setup and played domestic cricket for Mumbai, but intense competition limited his opportunities. Blessed with a tall frame, he generates disconcerting bounce and movement. A studious person, he was employed by Oracle. He later shifted to the USA, earned the captaincy, and led the team to ODI status in April 2019.

In 2024, he starred at USA’s maiden T20 World Cup, taking six wickets (avg 20.83), including a nerveless Super Over against Pakistan and dismissing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He then topped the MLC bowling charts (15 wickets) to help Washington Freedom win the title. In 2025, he became the first USA bowler to claim 100 ODI wickets and earned a CPL call-up as an injury replacement for Trinbago Knight Riders. Though unsold at the IPL 2025 auction, he remained a key figure in ICC League Two fixtures.
