About Murali Kartik in brief
Murali Kartik (born 11 September 1976) is an Indian former cricketer. He was a specialist slow left arm orthodox bowler known for his loopy trajectory and ability to spin and bounce. Kartik has found international selection blocked during his prime years by the presence of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. He is also a left-handed batsman, and has had some success with the bat at first-class level with 19 half-centuries. He made his ODI debut in 2002 and had a short stint before being dropped and missing the 2003 Cricket World Cup because of mediocre performance. In late 2007, Kartik broke back into the ODI team and took 627 in one victory over Australia, but lost form soon after and was again dropped. He has not represented India since then. Aside from domestic cricket, he plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and has been in demand in English county cricket as an overseas player, representing Lancashire, Middlesex, Somerset and Surrey. He also played for Delhi Under-16s and Railways Under-19s in the Delhi junior system. He took 291 in the next match against Haryana, but could no longer play in the Under- 16s because of his advancing age. He could not break into the U19s at Delhi, and played no further youth domestic matches for two years, when he transferred to Railways and broke into their U-19 team. He had a successful season for Railways in 1995–96, where he took 542 wickets at 14.
58 including a haul of 528 wickets against Vidarbha. In 1995-96, he was selected in the Central Zone team for the zonal one-day zonal tournament. The following season, he made his Test debut in early-2000 as Kumble’s bowling partner. However, he ran into disciplinary problems and was expelled from the National Cricket Academy in the same year, while new national captain Sourav Ganguly was reluctant to entrust him with responsibility. He was recalled in late-2003 for limited overs matches and played in around half of India’s matches for a six-month period, as well as one Test. He claimed his only man-of-the-match award in Tests against Australia in Mumbai, but was once again dropped two matches later. In late-2004 Kartik played in three Tests as India fielded three spinners, and claimed hisOnly man- of-the. match award in Test against Australia in Mumbai. The International Cricket Council introduced an experimental rule that allowed one substitute to be used, opening an extra vacancy in the national team. It was later revoked and Kartik was unable to secure his position in the team and the rule was later used. Kartik took five wickets in four matches against Rajasthan Punjab in the final match of the season. In four-day matches he had aggregated nine runs in six innings, but otherwise only aggregating nine runs on one occasion.
