R Sai Kishore Joins Surrey for Key County Championship Matches

Indian spin bowler R Sai Kishore joins Surrey for two crucial County Championship matches, bringing his impressive track record to the prestigious club.

Indian spin bowler R Sai Kishore has joined Surrey for the club's next two County Championship games. The 28-year-old, who has three T20 international caps for India, boasts an impressive record with 192 wickets in 46 first-class matches at an average of 23.51.

Sai Kishore captains Tamil Nadu in India's Ranji Trophy and represents Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL), playing a pivotal role in their 2022 championship win. His addition to Surrey's squad is expected to bolster their spin attack as they aim to maintain their lead in the Division One table.

Sai Kishore expressed his excitement about joining Surrey, stating, "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."

Kishore will be available for Surrey's upcoming matches against Yorkshire in Scarborough, starting on Tuesday, 22 July, and against Durham in Chester-le-Street the following week. Surrey, the reigning champions for the last three seasons, are currently one point ahead of Nottinghamshire in the Division One table, with five games remaining.

This move highlights the growing influence of Indian players in global cricket and underscores Surrey's commitment to strengthening their squad with top international talent. Fans will be eager to see how Kishore's experience and skill contribute to Surrey's campaign as they push for another championship title.
