Career

Domestic Career

Manish Pandey rose from humble beginnings after playing for Mysore in state-level tournaments. Owning to his impressive performances, Pandey was scouted to play for the India Under-19 team in 2008 under Virat Kohli. The team emerged victoriously, but Pandey remained in the shadows as he did not have the performance to back his exceptional batting skills.

Being a part of a World Cup-winning team meant that an IPL contract was imminent, and Pandey signed up for Mumbai Indians. However, with stars like Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya in the team, Manish Pandey did not get many opportunities, and a year later, he moved to his home side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Pandey has since been a vital cog for the Karnataka domestic side. He had a breakthrough Ranji season in 2009-10 with 882 runs, ending up as the highest run-getter, including four 100s and five 50s at an average of 63, showcasing his consistency and appetite for runs.

IPL Career

After winning the U-19 World Cup in 2008, Manish Pandey was quickly drafted to a star-studded Mumbai Indians side. He didn’t get many opportunities there and moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side, where he had a breakout year. In the rainbow nation of South Africa during the second edition of IPL, Pandey became the first Indian to hit a century.

He was retained by the franchise for the third season of IPL but was released in the next season after he failed to turn out any performances of note.

The now-defunct site of Pune Warriors India then snapped Manish Pandey in the auctions, but the poor franchise did not help Pandey’s fortunes as he spent three relatively quiet years in the camp.

Pandey was given a new elixir of life in 2014 when Kolkata Knight Riders picked him up. The Karnataka batsman always had the penchant for scoring on the biggest stage, and he came up with a tournament-winning performance for KKR in the finals, where he scored a magnificent 94-runs inning and overshadowed Wriddhiman Saha’s hundred to catapult KKR to a second IPL trophy.

But then came another slump in his form, and KKR released him. Immediately after his ouster, Pandey was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad and had been going solid with the team ever since.

India was reeling in the pursuit of chasing 331, and Manish Pandey walked in and stroked a breezy unbeaten 104 run inning and took the team to the victory shores. His inning brought him a lot of spotlight, and he was dubbed as India’s answer for the number 4 problem.

However, Pandey was hard done by the selectors when he was left out of the 2019 World Cup team.

T20I Career

After making an ODI debut in Zimbabwe, Pandey, on the same tour, made his T20I debut. He was selected as a replacement for Yuvraj Singh in India’s 2016 T20 World Cup. Pandey played the semi-final but did not get the opportunity to bat as MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli put on a show and piled 191 runs against West Indies.
