About Soumya Sarkar

Soumya Sarkar is the elegant risk-taker of Bangladesh cricket—a cricketer blessed with flair, timing, and effortless strokeplay. Born on February 25, 1993, in Satkhira, Soumya's rise was shaped through the youth circuits, where his stylish left-handed batting stood out. He was part of the 2010 U-19 World Cup squad and gradually made his way up with solid domestic performances. When Soumya made his international debut in 2014, fans instantly noticed the natural flair in his drives and the audacity in his shot selection. In 2015, he made headlines by scoring a sparkling 127 against Pakistan in an ODI*, helping Bangladesh clinch a historic series win. His batting was full of intent—never defensive, always looking to dominate, and always easy on the eyes. A naturally aggressive top-order batter, Soumya was never content to just survive—he thrived when he attacked. That approach worked beautifully in ODIs and T20Is, where he became a regular name at the top. He also played a supporting role in Bangladesh’s golden period from 2015 to 2018, contributing with the bat and occasional medium-pace bowling. One of his career highlights came in 2019, when he scored two back-to-back centuries in an ODI series against Zimbabwe, showing a matured version of himself—controlled, but still dangerous. Soumya also became known for his incredible fielding, often stationed at point or cover, where he took sharp catches and stopped boundaries with remarkable athleticism. But his career has had its share of challenges—form dips, injuries, and criticism. Yet Soumya has always carried himself with grace, working hard behind the scenes to earn comebacks. He’s a player whose natural talent can light up games when in flow and whose potential still excites fans. Outside cricket, Soumya is quiet, humble, and grounded, often shying away from the spotlight. He’s a family man, introspective by nature, and someone who carries the dreams of many aspiring left-handers in Bangladesh. Soumya Sarkar’s journey is still being written—a tale of early promise, glorious highs, and the quiet resilience of a player still determined to shine on the biggest stages.
