Koushik Narayanan

Koushik Narayanan is a sports writer at InsideSport with over five years of experience covering cricket and professional wrestling. Cricket has been his primary beat since the start of his career, from the daily churn of IPL news to the longer narrative of Test cricket and Indian domestic cricket. He approaches the sport with both the enthusiasm of a fan and the discipline of a reporter. His cricket writing balances two distinct angles: the analytical and the human. On the analytical side, he is drawn to squad composition debates, player role assessments, and the tactical decisions that franchise teams get right or wrong ahead of each IPL season. On the human side, he writes profiles and contextual pieces that give readers a reason to care about a player beyond their batting average or economy rate. Outside cricket, Koushik loves to follow WWE with genuine expertise, making him one of the few Indian sports journalists who can write with equal authority on an IPL auction and a WrestleMania card. When not writing, cricket has his attention as a fanboy. It usually does.
