Odisha allrounder Suryakant Pradhan announced his retirement from all formats of cricket today. An aggressive medium pacer and big-hitting batter, Pradhan has had an illustrious career, representing the Odisha State team for many years
across all age-group categories — from Under-16 to the Senior men.

Over the years, 32-year-old Pradhan made significant contributions to Odisha cricket with his consistent performances and dedication. He bagged 197 wickets in 62 First-Class matches with best bowling figures of 7 for 40, and 46 wickets in 35 List A matches with a best of 7 for 39. In the T20 format, he has featured in 52 matches, claiming 47 wickets with notable spells throughout his career.

Pradhan scored 1280 runs, including six fifties in First-Class matches, 193 and 392 runs in List A and T20 games respectively. He made his First-Class debut against Karnataka on November 28, 2013, and played his last First-Class match against Maharashtra on November 13, 2024.

The Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) extended its heartfelt gratitude to Pradhan for his invaluable contributions to Odisha cricket and wished him the very best in his future endeavours.
