Rumor's are there around about the Kochi Ipl Team that S.Sreesanth will captain that Kochi Ipl Team.

Concentrating mainly on the "Right-Arm-Fast Medium Pace", Sreesanth is a Right handed batsman too, who played for ranjhi trobhy team of kerala and represented the King's XI Punjab in the previous edition's of IPL T20.

After completing his schoolday's with a succeful breakdancing record, which sreesanth won during his eight grade on national level championship, he embarked his college day's with psychology as his major under graduate course.

Born to Shanthakumaran Nair and Savithri Devi as the last kid, he is the famous brother of Dipu Santhan, who is also an university level cricket player and now run's his own music company in kochi with support from his sister nivedhita and brother in-law Madhu Balakrishnan.

After that he has been selected for India-A team where he played against Newzeland.

"The Prince of hat-tricks" emblomed his names in the kerala cricket history with that wicket haul against himachal pradesh, which put him in the India-B team in the following day's of 2005, where he showned his impressive performence with 7 wicket's which shown him the place in the indian team against srilanka.

After the selection to indian team, The Prince of hat-tricks assigned with new ball where he met the famous srilankan cricketers with hard time for his bowling, but finally he took 2 wickets later in the match, which put him in the backseats for the next matches against srilanka and then he has included in the team.

Tour of Pakistan is the turning pint for this "Kothamangalam Express" where he stayed with an career best 4/58 and 6/55 during the indore match against England team.

From there he picked up his career, despite the poor economy rate he has been and out of the team with so many matches and series against cricket playing nations.

Later day's of 2007 is when sreesanth's cricket career become vital with that 2 important wickets against australia in T20 Championship of 2007, after that we remember that sreesanth's catch, which kept the T20 championship in the hand's of india against the pakitan team.

Sreesanth got numorius warnings from Kerala Cricket association, BCCI, for his aggressive behaviour, despite all of that he is still continuing his pace with the same attitiude, as correctly stated by him, "Sreesanth will always remain Sreesanth".

Let's hope for his magical performancs for the Kochi IPL Frnachisse team to make the IPL 2011 belongs to the god's own country.
