One of the stalwarts of Tamil Nadu cricket S Badrinath announced his
retirement from first-class cricket on Friday Aug 31,2018
The right-hander made his debut in the 2000-01 season and stayed with Tamil Nadu for 14 years before representing two other states. While Badrinath captained Vidarbha from 2014-16, he also played for Hyderabad in the 2016-17 season. However, his most successful years came with Tamil Nadu and that also earned him a national call-up. While he did play for India in all the formats (two Tests, seven One-Day Internationals and one Twenty20 International), he will always be remembered as a giant who ruled domestic cricket for over a decade.
In a career spanning over 17 years, Badrinath amassed 10,245 runs in 145 first-class games at an impressive average of 54.49. He finished his career with 32 centuries and 45 fifties. He also featured in 144 List A games where he scored 4164 runs, including six hundreds and 28 half-centuries.
