Sreesanth birthday: Kerala pacer's career at a glance
Sreesanth made his debut for India back in 2005 against Sri Lanka. He burst onto the scene with some eye-catching performances and was regarded as one of the fastest bowlers at that time. The Kerala pacer player wore his emotions on his sleeve and was extremely aggressive with the ball. Sreesanth was part of India’s two successful World Cup campaigns - the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 Cricket World Cup. In 2013, Sreesanth was handed a life-ban by the BCCI for his involvement in the IPL spot-fixing scandal. The ban was later reduced to seven years.
