Sai Kishore captains Tamil Nadu in India's Ranji Trophy and represents Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL), playing a pivotal role in their 2022 championship win.

This move highlights the growing influence of Indian players in global cricket and underscores Surrey's commitment to strengthening their squad with top international talent. Fans will be eager to see how Kishore's experience and skill contribute to Surrey's campaign as they push for another championship title.
