Have a look at the bio, age and birth place of Aniket Verma
The theme of the ascent of Aniket Verma has been seizing opportunities. After making a comeback in the Madhya Pradesh Premier tournament in 2024, another state T20 tournament where scouts typically spend their “off-season,” he was noticed by an IPL team last year.
Aniket Verma, 23, retaliated after Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) mainstays lost to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. On a flat field, SRH achieved a good score of 190/9 owing to his 36 runs off 13 balls, including five sixes, at a strike rate of 276.92 while batting at number six.

The 23-year-old right-hander delivered another electrifying knock, smashing Delhi Capitals’ bowlers all over the park on Sunday in Visakhapatnam. Walking in at a tough situation with SRH reeling at 25/3 in the third over, Verma unleashed his firepower, capitalizing on a dropped chance by Abhishek Porel in the sixth over as he scored 74 in 41 balls.
Aniket Verma got a trial with SRH prior to the major auction after scoring 273 runs in six innings, including a 32-ball 100 and 25 sixes overall. Aniket made the most of the chance when the trial finally arrived and his power-hitting ability was impossible to ignore, leading to his selection in the mega auction for Rs 30 lakh.
Aniket Verma, who was born in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, has spent the majority of his cricketing career in Madhya Pradesh.
Losing his mother at the young age of three after which his father Umashankar Verma got remarried, he was raised by his uncle, Amit Verma, who nurtured his passion for cricket and he honed his skills at the Railway Youth Cricket Club before refining his technique further at Ankur Academy with Jyotiprakash Tyagi.
Although he had only played one Twenty20 International match for the state and was dismissed for a duck in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he had little domestic stature to show, but the SRH scouts saw his potential. In the Madhya Pradesh Premier League, the state’s regional Twenty20 competition, he led the field in runs scored.
In six games with the Bhopal Leopards, he amassed 273 runs, including 13 sixes and 123 off 41 balls. He also displayed comparable form at the U-23 level. He hit eight sixes to enable him score 101 runs off 75 balls against Karnataka in the Under-23 one-day event. When Aniket was three years old, his mother passed away. He was looked after by Uncle Amit Verma.
The COVID-19 epidemic quickly interrupted Aniket’s rising trajectory, but it had no effect on the course of his voyage. Actually, it gave a vital aspect of his game an unanticipated boost. Because Ankur Academy is located in the centre of Bhopal, it was unable to operate properly during the lockdown. Aditya Shrivastava, the captain of the 2021–22 Ranji team, and Aniket were among the cricket players from the academy who were sent to the Faith Cricket Club on the outskirts of the city to practice.
IPL has unearthed another great talent of Indian Domestics, what a talent this guy Aniket Verma is.
So pleasing to the eyes, rescuing SRH from very terrible position of 37/4 & then 123/7. He is pleasing to eyes, he has the temperament.
Great Talent🔥pic.twitter.com/RAskLewVWd
