Father: Ram Pal Sen, Mother: Geeta Sen, Brothers: Rajdeep Sen and Jagdeep Sen
Kuldeep Sen is a fast bowler from Madhya Pradesh who made a rapid rise through the domestic circuit, earning an IPL debut and an India cap within the same year. The 29-year-old right-arm pacer is known for his ability to crank the pace above 140kmph and pick wickets regularly, making him a valuable asset in any attack. Sen’s breakthrough came in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy season, where he picked up 24 wickets from eight games, including a seven-wicket haul followed by a six-wicket haul in consecutive matches. His IPL journey began with Rajasthan Royals in 2022, where he made an immediate impact by defending 14 runs in the final over on debut against Lucknow Super Giants. That performance, combined with his domestic consistency, earned him an ODI debut for India in Bangladesh later that year. While injuries have interrupted his momentum, Sen has shown resilience, moving from Madhya Pradesh to Tamil Nadu before the 2023-24 season and returning to Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2026 after a brief stint with Punjab Kings.
