Inderbir Singh "Ish" Sodhi (born 31 October 1992) is a New Zealand international cricketer who represents the New Zealand national team in all formats, and Northern Districts in domestic cricket.[1] He bowls right-arm leg spin, and bats right-handed. He reached the no.1 ranking for T20I bowlers in January 2018, jumping from no. 10 at the end of last year.[2]

Early life

Sodhi was born in Ludhiana, India. He moved to South Auckland, New Zealand with his family when he was four years old. He attended Papatoetoe High School. [3]

Domestic career

Sodhi made his debut for Northern Districts in the 2012–13 Plunket Shield season.

In 2017, Sodhi was not named in the Test squad against Bangladesh, which enabled him to play for Adelaide Strikers as an injury replacement for Chris Jordan. On 18 January in his third game for the Strikers he ended the match with figures of 6/11 off 3.3 overs to win the match for the Strikers and Man of the Match. These are the second best figures in Big Bash history after Lasith Malinga's 6/7 from 4 overs between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers.[4][5]

International career

His international debut for New Zealand came in a Test match against Bangladesh during New Zealand's 2013 tour of Bangladesh. He made his Twenty20 International debut against the West Indies in July 2014. In November 2014 Sodhi was selected for a three-test series against Pakistan cricket team. In the first Test, he scored 63, a personal best and the best score by a New Zealand number-ten batsman in Test cricket. Sodhi made his One Day International debut for New Zealand against Zimbabwe on 2 August 2015.[6]

In May 2018, he was one of twenty players to be awarded a new contract for the 2018–19 season by New Zealand Cricket.[7]
