A natural at sports and very competitive, he grew up doing it all, academics, cricket, and classical dance, a rare combination which in turn shaped his at times unpredictable but very charismatic personality. His early affinity for cricket grew in the small dusty grounds of Kerala, which also saw him develop his swing bowling, which in turn made him stand out from the rest of his peers.

Sreesanth’s father, a former insurance officer, and his mother, a homemaker, were very much behind his ambitions. He attended Vidyadhiraja School in Kothamangalam and also did higher education at the International School of Cricket in Chennai, which was the ground where he developed his raw pace and discipline in a structured setting.
