Rakesh Krishnan

Rakesh Krishnan (born 23 July 1983) was an Indian cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler who played for Bengal. He was born in Calcutta.

Krishnan made his debut cricketing appearances for the Bengal Under-16s team, batting in and around the opening order. He played five games for the team in the Vijay Merchant Trophy competition of 1998-99, in which Bengal reached the semi-final of the competition, before being eliminated from the competition following a draw against Punjab.

Krishnan made just two cricketing appearances over the next five years, unable to secure a position with the youth teams.

Krishnan made a single first-class appearance for the team, in the Ranji Trophy competition of 2004-05, against Delhi in December 2004. Batting in the upper-middle order, he scored 13 runs in the first innings of the match, and 34 runs in the second.

Following his swift exit from the first-class game, he played two games for the Under-22 team.
