An attacking opening batsman, much like his father, Anirudha made his first-class debut in the 2003–04 season as a 16-year-old. He was in and out of the Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy squad in the following seasons but enjoyed greater success in the limited-overs format and topped the number of runs scored for India under-19s against the touring England under-19 side in 2004–05.[3] His record in the Twenty20 format has been impressive, finishing the third-highest run-scorer in the inter-state Twenty20 in 2007.[4]

He was married to a model, Arthi Venkatesh.

Indian Premier League

edit

He had played for Chennai Super Kings between 2008 and 2013 in the Indian Premier League. In the 2010 semi-final against Deccan Chargers, he scored 24 runs from 15 deliveries, hitting two sixes and a four. In the 2012 season he scored 18 from six balls in a low scoring match against Rajasthan Royals.[5]

In 2014 he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad.[6]
