Padmaja Srivatsan is an InsideSport cricket writer with over a year of experience. She has been a cricket fan ever since she turned four. While cricket had always been her passion, her path to her dream job was nothing short of magical. Her journey to becoming a full-time sportswriter began in 2019. She has been entertaining audiences with offbeat cricket stories, previews, reviews, match stories, and much more since that year. Cricket Freak is her middle name. While the author adores South Africa, she is not a biased supporter. Cricket is her only passion, and she has reported on numerous events including the ICC Women's World Cup, the IPL 2022, the Men's World Cup, and many others. When she isn't writing about sports, Padmaja enjoys drinking chai and exploring new places.
