Utkarsh is a high quality genuine off spin all rounder currently playing for Jharkhand in Indian domestic cricket. The top order batter in all formats is also a go to man for spin providing his side with elite level skills across the board.
Developing through the age groups firstly of Tripura, Delhi and finally Jharkhand, Utkarsh was recognised straight away as a top talent which earned him a call up for the Indian U19 Test squad in a match vs England where he faced up against current England stars Harry Brook, Ollie Pope and Will Jacks. It was only a matter of time before the first professional cap came and aged just 19 in a first class game vs J&K, it did.
Since then, Utkarsh's performances have taken him to the next level as he earned a fiercely fought over IPL contract to the Punjab Kings in 2021. A call up to the East Zone squad in the coveted Deodhar Trophy in 2023 saw his side run out runners up despite impressive scores of 89 and 50.
The high class performer would be a phenomenal signing for any side looking to strengthen their all round attack. His easy on the eye batting style and ability to give the ball a rip will no doubt attract offers from across the country.
