Vishnu Vinod (Cricketer) Biography

Vishnu Vinod is an Indian wicket-keeper batsman from Kerala who has featured for his state side in domestic cricket and has been part of Indian Premier Le​

Early life and background

Vishnu Vinod was born on 2 December 1993 in Kallisseri village, Thiruvalla, in the Pathanamthitta district of Kerala. He attended MGM Higher Secondary School in Thiruvalla and completed higher secondary studies at a school in Ranni, Perunad. He went on to study at Marthoma College, Thiruvalla, and graduated with a BA in Political Science. Vishnu is Indian by nationality and his zodiac sign is Sagittarius.

Physical details often noted in player profiles list him at about 170 cm (1.70 m), or roughly 5 feet 7 inches. He has dark brown eyes and black hair. He also has several tattoos: a black band on his right forearm, a compass on his left forearm and an anchor on his left wrist. As of the information provided, he is unmarried.

Career

Vishnu Vinod is a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm bowler who primarily plays as a wicket-keeper batsman. He made his domestic T20 debut for Kerala in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2014, and has gone on to represent Kerala across formats in India’s domestic competitions.

In List A cricket, Vishnu has been a consistent performer. By the figures given he amassed 1,295 runs in 32 Vijay Hazare Trophy matches at an average of 41.77 and a brisk strike rate. His 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign was particularly notable: he finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 508 runs from eight matches at an average of 63.50, including three centuries.

He made his first-class debut in 2016. In the longer format he has found fewer runs compared with limited-overs cricket, with 717 runs in 20 first-class matches at an average of 22.40.

Vishnu’s domestic form drew attention from Indian Premier League teams. After going unsold at the 2016 IPL auction, circumstances opened a route into the IPL when a vacancy arose in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad. He joined RCB, impressed during trials where he faced high-profile bowlers in the nets, and played three matches in his debut IPL season, scoring 19 runs across those appearances before being released ahead of the following season.

Following strong domestic performances, Delhi Capitals signed Vishnu Vinod ahead of the 2021 IPL season. He joined the Capitals squad with jersey number 4.

Playing style

Vishnu is known for an aggressive approach with the bat. He has the versatility to open the innings or bat lower down the order, and is deployed as a wicket-keeper when required. His List A and T20 records show his ability to score quickly and contribute significant innings for Kerala in limited-overs formats.

Public profile

Vishnu represents Kerala in domestic cricket and has been part of IPL franchises including Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals. He has not made an international debut for India in Test, ODI, or T20 formats according to the available information.

Latest updates

His standout form in the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy led to IPL interest, and he was acquired by Delhi Capitals in 2021 at a base price of INR 20 Lakhs. The profile information lists his domestic teams as Kerala, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Delhi Capitals, and his primary role as a right-handed wicket-keeper batsman.

Personal

Vishnu keeps a relatively public sporting profile and is identified by his playing role, domestic achievements, and the distinctive tattoos noted above. Beyond cricket, his education in political science is part of his background as a college graduate from Marthoma College in Thiruvalla.
