About Murali Kartik
Murali Kartik is a former India left-arm spinner who has become one of the most familiar voices in cricket broadcasting. Born in 1976, he came through the Delhi junior system and Railways before representing India between 2000 and 2007. Today he is known to millions of fans as a commentator and analyst, valued for his clear explanations and insider understanding of the game.
Career highlights
Kartik made his first-class debut in 1996–97 and his Test debut in early 2000 as Anil Kumble’s bowling partner. His international opportunities were limited because India had two outstanding spinners at the time in Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, but he remained a consistent performer in domestic cricket, where he took a large haul of first-class wickets and also scored 21 half-centuries as a useful left-handed batter.
He made his ODI debut in 2002 and played Tests and ODIs for India over several years. He also enjoyed a long career in English county cricket with clubs including Lancashire, Middlesex and Somerset, and played in the IPL. After retiring, he moved into commentary and has since worked across Indian and international broadcasts.
