Bio:
Satheesh Shubha is a left-handed batter from Bangalore, emerging as India’s batting sensation, representing Karnataka in domestic cricket. In the 2022-23 season, Shubha scored 192 runs in the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy at an average of 48 and a strike rate close to 100. In the previous two editions, she amassed 263 runs with an average of 43.83 and a strike rate of 80.42, and 346 runs with an average of 86.50 and a strike rate of 72.38, respectively.
Selected for the one-off Test match against England in 2023, Shubha made her debut for India, batting in the sixth over after the fall of Smriti Mandhana’s wicket. She scored 69 runs off 76 balls, forming a 115-run partnership for the third wicket with another debutant, Jemimah Rodrigues. The return of women’s Test cricket on home soil after a nine-year gap saw the 24-year-old creating a new record for the Indian women’s cricket team. Shubha Satheesh became India’s second-fastest women’s player to score a half-century in Test cricket, behind Sangita Dabir (as of 2024).
Shubha caught everyone’s attention when Smriti Mandhana-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) acquired her for INR 10 lakhs at the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction in 2024, although she didn’t play a single game. Despite her lone appearance in the test match against England as of 2024, the future looks promising for the Karnataka side.
