Soumya Sarkar, born on February 25, 1993, in Satkhira, is a stylish left-handed batsman known for his flamboyant stroke play and occasional medium pace. Wearing jersey number 59, he was once considered one of Bangladesh’s most exciting prospects. He made his debut in 2014 and soon became a mainstay in the top order, especially in white-ball formats. Soumya played a crucial role in Bangladesh’s 2015 ODI resurgence, including a century against Pakistan and impactful contributions during series wins over India and South Africa. His ability to hit lofted drives and power the ball through covers made him a crowd favorite. However, inconsistency and technical vulnerabilities led to ups and downs in his career. Despite that, Soumya has shown flashes of brilliance, such as his 117 against Zimbabwe in 2019 and key knocks in global tournaments. His medium-pace bowling adds balance to the team, and he remains a valuable squad member in T20s. As he seeks to revive his career, Soumya’s experience and versatility continue to make him an important backup option across formats.
