Sachin Baby Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Caste, Wiki & More

On December 11, 1988, the 15-year-old Sachin Tendulkar scored a century on his first-class debut at the Wankhede Stadium. A week later, a baby boy was born in Thodupuzha, Kerala, and his cricket-mad father P.C. Baby named him Sachin.

 

Unlike Tendulkar, Sachin Baby bats left-handed. He has been a regular member of Kerala's middle order since his debut in 2009, but it took him till his 25th first-class match, in December 2014, to score his first hundred, an unbeaten 200 against Hyderabad.

 

Consistency in first-class cricket continues to elude Baby, but he has done better in limited-overs cricket, as a List A average in the mid-40s would suggest. He was part of the Rajasthan Royals squad in the 2013 season, though he only got to play one match.

 

Captain of Kerala's limited-overs side, Sachin Baby scored heavily in the 2012-13 Vijay Hazare Trophy, India's premier domestic 50-over tournament. His century in the quarter-final earned Kerala a place in the final four of the tournament. Baby's penchant for limited-overs cricket earned him a contract with the Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2013. RCB picked him up in the IPL Player Auction 2016.
