Sanjay Krishnamurthi, a student at San Jose State and star player for the U.S. national cricket team, is set to compete for the San Francisco Unicorns in Major League Cricket. This tournament marks a vital step in attracting a broader audience to cricket in the U.S., particularly aiming to engage local fans. Krishnamurthi emphasizes the modern game's dynamism compared to traditional perceptions of cricket, hoping for increased attendance and interest. His journey to becoming a national player was serendipitous while he was living in the U.S. during the pandemic.
Krishnamurthi believes American cricket's visibility is key, stating, "The goal is to bring those eyes to cricket that's happening right at their doorstep," hoping for increased attendance.
He highlights cricket's evolution, saying, "What people think about it is the long five-day cricket… But the reality of the modern game is it's fast-paced and there's quite a bit of action."
