Early life and background

Pardeep Sahu was born on 21 August 1985 in Bhiwani, Haryana, India. Raised in a region with a strong sporting culture, he developed into a right-handed batsman and a right-arm leg-break bowler. He is identified by the nickname "Bolu" and is of Indian nationality. His listed physical profile gives his height at approximately 178 cm (about 5'10") and his weight around 75 kg (165 lbs). He has hazel brown eyes and black hair.

Career

Sahu made his first-class debut at the age of 17 in 2002 and represented Haryana in domestic cricket. He established himself as a lower-middle-order batsman who can contribute with the bat while being primarily valued for his leg-spin bowling. His best first-class batting score is 72, and his best bowling performances include a maiden five-wicket haul against Tripura in Rohtak.

A defining moment in his career came in 2014 when he captured all ten wickets in an innings during a Kanga League Division A match. That feat brought him wider attention and led to a contract offer from the Rajasthan Royals in 2015. Sahu later joined Kings XI Punjab and wore jersey number 21 when part of the IPL squad. In 2018 he was again part of the IPL auction outcome, when Kings XI Punjab bought him for the tournament that year.

After several seasons with Haryana, Sahu moved in 2012 to Mumbai, where he began working for the Comptroller and Auditor General of India while continuing his cricketing pursuits. Throughout his domestic career he has also been associated with Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab at the IPL level.

Career statistics and style

Sahu is a bowling all-rounder by role: a right-arm leg-break bowler who bats right-handed lower in the order. His recorded achievements in first-class cricket include a personal best batting score of 72 and at least one five-wicket haul. His extraordinary ten-wicket innings in the Kanga League remains the headline achievement that elevated his profile and opened opportunities in the IPL.
