Allrounder
One of the most unique young talents in Australian cricket, Nivethan “Niv” Radhakrishnan has caught national attention as an ambidextrous spinner – able to bowl with both hands with devastating effect.
Niv is also extremely competent with the bat, best displayed in his recent man of the match performance for the Australian U19 side to secure third place in the 2022 U19 World Cup. With all to play for, Radhakrishnan took 3-31 with the ball, before making a critical 66 off just 96 balls to steer Australia to victory.
With his rare skillset and raw talent, Radhakrishnan is one of the most exciting young prospects in the state, and nation.
