Satheesh Shubha

Born on July 13, 1999, in Bengaluru, Karnataka, Satheesh Shubha is a cricketer recognized for her proficiency as a left-handed batter with the added ability of delivering handy medium-pace bowling. Making her debut for Karnataka in November 2012, against Andhra, marked the beginning of Satheesh Shubha's cricket journey. 

Shubha has achieved notable milestones in her short career, making her maiden T20 half-century in January 2017, against Saurashtra, and securing her first List A half-century in December 2018, against Tamil Nadu. 

The Karnataka-born emerged as the fourth-highest run scorer in the 2020–21 Women's Senior One-Day Trophy, accumulating an impressive 346 runs with four half-centuries.

She moved to Railways ahead of the 2023–24 season, further underscoring her growing stature in domestic cricket.

Shubha came into limelight when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) purchased her for INR 10 lakhs at the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 auction. 

In December 2023, she earned her maiden international call-up for the Test matches against England and Australia. Making her debut against England, she showcased her batting prowess by scoring the second-fastest fifty (in 49 balls) by an India Woman, only behind Sangita Dabir (in 40 balls against England, in 1995), adding another feather to her cap. 

However, her debut Test took an unexpected turn as she suffered a fractured finger, forcing her to be ruled out of the Test against Australia.
