Samarth Vyas IPL Profile

Samarth Vyas  plays domestic cricket for Saurashtra and is contracted to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. Born on 28 November 1995 in Rajkot, Gujarat, he is 27 years of age at the time of IPL 2023. Vyas is an all-rounder who bats right-handed and also bowls right-arm. He bowls right-arm legbreak googly.

He made his first-class debut for Saurashtra on 23 November 2015 in the 2015–16 Ranji Trophy and has since been a key player for his side. Vyas has won the Ranji Trophy twice with Saurashtra so far. In November 2022, Vyas became only the fifth batter to hit a double-century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy when he smashed a 131-ball 200 against Manipur in Delhi on Sunday. He joined Karn Veer Kaushal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Prithvi Shaw in the double-centurions club. Overall, this was Vyas's third List-A century.

Vyas also topped the run charts for Saurashtra at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20s in 2022, where they made the semi-finals. He smashed 314 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 177.40 and a best of 97 not out against Nagaland. He made another 97, against Baroda. Overall, he was the fifth-highest run-getter in the tournament, finishing just 49 runs behind Yash Dhull, who topped the charts.

Vyas made his List A debut in 2015 as well but has only recently become a regular member of the team. He started as a middle-order batter but has moved up the order of late, with the team management pushing him up to bat in the top three. Vyas can prove to be a solid asset for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
