Personal Life
So, Shreyas Gopal actually comes from Bengaluru, Karnataka, and he was born there too, back on 4 September 1993, which makes him almost 32 years old. And the reason why he was inclined more towards cricket as a sport in his early years is the fact that his father, Ramaswamy Gopal, also played club cricket for many years.
We’ll come to his cricket career later, but talking about his personal life, you see, he is actually married now to his long-time friend Nikitha Shiv, and they got married back in 2021. Whether or not they have kids is still not publicly disclosed, so we couldn’t tell you for sure.
Professional Life and IPL Career
When Shreyas started playing first-class cricket and made his debut for Karnataka in the 2013‑14 Ranji Trophy season, he was very young, but quickly became a known name because of his great leg‑spinner skills. If you have been following club cricket or the domestic cricket scene of India for a long time now, then you’d certainly know about the Irani Cup, and back in 2014, it was Shreyas Gopal who took the first hat-trick in this tournament’s history, and played a big role in winning the trophy for Karnataka at that time.
Looking at his performance in domestic cricket, the Mumbai Indians thought of giving him a chance, so they went for him in the IPL 2014 auctions, and that’s when he made his debut in the IPL. From there on, his IPL career has been kinda decent, and he has been part of the Rajasthan Royals too, and in IPL 2019, he even took a hat-trick against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. After that, he has been part of SRH and Mumbai Indians in IPL 2022 and 2024, but now, in IPL 2025, he’s part of the CSK squad.
