Ishwar Chaudhary is a genuine quick retired from domestic cricket at the end of the 2020/21 season.

He finished his career following two incredible seasons where he featured toward the top of the bowling wicket charts. During these two seasons, he was arguably the best-performed seamer in Ranji Trophy cricket, with season tally's of 51 wickets at 20.58 and 49 wickets at 22.30 in 2018/19 and 2019/20, respectively.

A tall, powerful quick, Chaudhary forged a big reputation in domestic cricket, across all formats. The former India Under-19 player, who featured alongside the likes of Virat Kohli, Ravi Jadeja, and Piyush Chawla, was on the domestic circuit since the 2006/07 season.

Such was his promise, the opening bowler was sent to Australia by the BCCI in September 2007 to play for the Australia Centre of Excellence. The following year, he was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for the 2008 and 2009 Indian Premier League editions. He went on to play 9 seasons for Gujarat (2008/09-2017/19) before his move to Sikkim for the 2018/19 season. During this period, he featured for the West Zone (2010/11, 2011/12, 2016/17) and India Green (2011/12), so was on the national radar.

Chaudhary’s red-ball format over his final two seasons was exceptional, backing up his white-ball success over recent years. Playing for Sikkim, the right-arm seamer finished tied for fifth on the wicket charts with 51 poles at 20.58 (he was the leading seam bowler) in 2018/19. He captured 4 five-wicket bags and 2 ten-wicket match hauls. Chaudhary backed up his 2018/19 exploits with a further 49 poles at 22.30 with 6 five-wicket hauls in his final season to finish as the seventh leading Ranji wicket-taker!

Chaudhary, fresh from his Ranji exploits, embarked on his maiden UK stint in 2021. Playing for Bishopston in the strong West of England Premier League (Prem 2 Bristol/Somerset), the Indian seamer took 18 wickets at 21.78. In all cricket, he bagged 25 wickets at 17.92, to include best figures of 6-16 in the quarter-final of the Gloucestershire County Cup.

Chaudhary thoroughly enjoyed his maiden UK stint and is now eager to play abroad over the next few years.
