About K Srikkanth
Long before Virender Sehwag, India boasted of an naturally aggressive opener who could spoil the party of the opposition in a matter of a few overs. An engineer by profession, Srikkanth graduated from the prestigious College of Engineering, Guindy in Chennai, India. Srikkanth's batting style was both innovative and entertaining for the crowd gathered in the stadium. His approach to batting was completely in reverse to that of his partner, Sunil Gavaskar as the pair engineered some fine starts for India.
