Abhishek Goswami

Abhishek Goswami is a stylish and accomplished left-handed batter currently plying his trade at the top level of Indian domestic cricket with Uttar Pradesh. A former India Under-19 international, he’s now firmly established himself as one of the leading figures in the Uttar Pradesh side and continues to turn heads with his performances across all formats.

His talent was evident early on, representing India at Under-19 level and impressing in a series against a strong England U19 outfit in 2017. Batting against a bowling attack that featured future stars like Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Will Jacks, Goswami showed his class with scores of 66 and 58 in two standout innings – a clear indicator of his temperament and technique under pressure.

Since then, his game has matured impressively. In first-class cricket, he’s become a consistent and reliable performer, boasting an outstanding batting average of 49.77 and a highest score of 198. His ability to play long, composed innings has made him a cornerstone of Uttar Pradesh’s red-ball side. At the same time, he’s continued to adapt to the demands of white-ball cricket, contributing regularly in both List A and T20 formats, where he averages in the mid-20s and brings balance to any batting lineup.

While his off-spin hasn’t yet been called upon in professional cricket, Goswami remains a capable and confident option with the ball in hand – a genuine asset in club cricket where his all-round abilities come to the fore. Whether opening the batting or slotting into the middle order, he brings stability, fluency, and game awareness to every side he plays for.

Now looking to experience his maiden UK club season in 2026, Abhishek Goswami would be a valuable acquisition for any team seeking a top-order batter with proven pedigree, a professional mindset, and the added bonus of a useful bowling option. He’s a grounded, hard-working cricketer with a team-first attitude and all the tools to make a big impact in English conditions.
