Mohammed Azharuddeen (born 22 March 1994) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Kerala in domestic cricket.[1] He is a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper.

Career[]

Azharuddeen was born in Thalangara, Kasaragod as the youngest of eight brothers. He was named after the former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin by his elder brother.[2][3]

He made his first-class debut on 15 November 2015 in the 2015–16 Ranji Trophy.[4] He made his List A debut on 10 December 2015 in the 2015–16 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[5] He made his Twenty20 debut on 2 January 2016 in the 2015–16 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[6]

In August 2018, he was one of five players that were suspended for three games in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, after showing dissent against Kerala's captain, Sachin Baby.[7]

On 13 January 2021, in the 2020–21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Azharuddeen became the first batsman for Kerala to score a century in a T20 match.[8] Azharuddeen scored his century from 37 balls, the second-fastest in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and joint-third fastest by an Indian batsman.[9] It was also the third-highest score in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after Shreyas Iyer and Puneet Bisht.[10]

In February 2021, Azharuddeen was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[11]
