SUMMARY

Born in Kerala, Krishnachandran Karate is an international cricketer, who plays as an allrounder for UAE. He is a middle-order batsman and a medium pace bowler, who has represented Kerala in junior and senior-level cricket.

He moved to UAE looking for a job and made his way into the UAE national team due to his cricketing skills. He made his debut against Afghanistan at Kuala Lumpur in May 2014.

He is a very handy batsman, who averages just a shade above 40 in ODIs. His bowling skills cannot be ignored as well. He picked up his best ODI figures of 3/45 against Afghanistan in the second game of the four-match ODI series in 2014.

Owing to his fine all-round performances, he was selected in the 15-man squad for the 2015 World Cup as well.
