Soumya Sarkar

Soumya Sarkar (Bengali: সৌম্য সরকার; born 25 February 1993) is a Bangladeshi cricketer. He is a left-handed batter and a right arm medium-fast bowler who mainly plays as an opening batter. He is the only batter to hit 2 sixes in the first over in a T20 World Cup match and the second highest individual run-scorer for Bangladesh in an ODI innings. He is the inventor of the stylish-looking "Periscope" shot. Sarkar plays for the Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League, Khulna Division in the National Cricket League, and Prime Bank Cricket Club in the Dhaka Premier Division.
