About Abhimanyu Mithun

A fast bowler of pedigree, Mithun shot into prominence by picking up 47 wickets in his very first domestic Ranji season for Karnataka helping them to the finals where they eventually lost to Mumbai.

Born on October 21, 1989, Mithun took seriously to the game only at the age of 17. He spent his formative years attempting to succeed in athletics and discuss throw. His pace impressed the then Karnataka coach, who billed him as one for the future. Rahul Dravid, ace Indian batsman and his captain on debut, praised him for his ability to bowl long and hard spells at good pace. Ray Jennings, his coach at the Royal Challengers Bangalore hailed him as an 'express pace bowler'.

Mithun made a grand entry into the domestic circuit picking 11 wickets against Uttar Pradesh on his debut. This included a second innings hat-trick as well thereby emulating Javagal Srinath's feat in the 1989-90 season. He relied heavily on his pace and can extract good bounce from the wicket. This can be credited to his extensive gym sessions at a gymnasium owned by his father.
