Shreyanka Patil Age, Height, Family, Career Stats, Net Worth, and Full Biography (2026)

Shreyanka Patil is 24 years old in 2026. Born on 31 July 2002 in Bengaluru, the Karnataka off-spinner will turn 25 on 31 July 2027, and in that short span she has already packed in more drama than most cricketers see in a decade.

Think about it. A Purple Cap, two WPL titles with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, an India cap in two formats, a five-wicket haul that was the best spell of an entire WPL season, and an Asian Games gold medal. Then flip the coin: a hairline fracture, a shin problem that wiped out a whole season, and an ankle injury that had her stretchered off at a World Cup. Her story is about talent, yes, but it’s even more about bouncing back.

In this article, we’ve put together everything you’d want to know about Shreyanka Patil’s age, early life, family, career journey, stats, bowling style, salary, net worth and a few fun facts that most fans don’t know.

Who Is Shreyanka Patil?

Shreyanka Patil is an Indian cricketer who bowls right-arm off-spin and bats right-handed in the lower order. She plays domestic cricket for Karnataka, represents Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League, and has been part of the Indian national team since December 2023.

She first made headlines in the inaugural WPL in 2023, but it was the 2024 season that turned her into a household name. She finished as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets, won the Purple Cap and the Emerging Player award, and ripped through Delhi Capitals with 4/12 in the final to help RCB lift their first-ever trophy. Bubbly on the field, fearless with the ball and hugely popular on social media, she is one of the most recognisable faces of the new generation of Indian women’s cricket.

Birth, Age and Hometown

Shreyanka Patil was born on Wednesday, 31 July 2002, in Bengaluru (Bangalore), the capital of Karnataka. That makes her 24 years old as of October 2026. Her zodiac sign is Leo, and if you have ever watched her celebrate a wicket, the fiery, confident Leo label feels about right.

Bengaluru is not just her birthplace, it’s the centre of her whole cricketing world. She grew up in the city, learned the basics at her father’s academy there, trained at the Dravid-Padukone Centre of Excellence, and later shifted to the outskirts of the city to train at NICE Academy in Huttanahalli. Even her WPL franchise, RCB, is her home team, which is why the Chinnaswamy crowd treats her like one of their own.

Early Life and Childhood

Shreyanka’s love for cricket started early. As a young girl she watched the IPL on television and was hooked, and by the age of ten she had begun proper training. The best part was that she didn’t have to go far. Her father, Rajesh Patil, ran a small cricket academy called Efficient Sports, and that is where she took her first steps in the game, training there for around five years.

Her father noticed something special early on. He saw that his daughter could stay focused for hours while practising with a hanging ball, long after most kids would have got bored. That kind of concentration convinced him she had real talent, and from then on the family backed her dream fully.

As a kid she tried almost everything. She bowled medium pace, experimented with leg-spin and even had a go at wicketkeeping before finally settling on off-spin. Around 2019, as a teenager, she met coach Arjun Dev, and that meeting changed her life. She later moved out of her parents’ home in the main city and started living alone in a rented apartment close to the academy so she could cut down on travel time and train harder.

Education and Early Interests

Shreyanka completed her schooling at Delhi Public School (DPS) in Bengaluru. Balancing school with serious cricket training was not easy, but her family made sure she never had to choose between the two at an early age. Details about any college degree have not been made public, and like many young athletes, her focus shifted almost fully to cricket once she broke into representative teams.

Outside academics, cricket was always her first love. She trained at the Dravid-Padukone Centre of Excellence, where Arjun Dev first coached her, and when Dev opened his own NICE Academy in 2021, she followed him and became the academy’s first female cricket trainee. She also played club cricket for teams like Cosmic Cricket Academy, Banaswadi Cricket Club and Rajajinagar Cricketers, and even turned up for the Mysuru Warriors in a KPL season. Apart from cricket, she is known to be a fitness enthusiast and a big animal lover.

Shreyanka Patil Height, Weight and Physical Details

Physical attribute	Details
Height (approx.)	175 cm / 1.75 m / 5 feet 9 inches
Weight (approx.)	50–55 kg (110–121 lbs)
Eye colour	Black
Hair colour	Black
Body type	Slim and athletic
Fitness	Regular gym and match-scenario training at NICE Academy

Her height is a real asset as an off-spinner. Standing around 5 feet 9 inches, she gets extra bounce from a higher release point, which is one reason batters find her hard to attack. Her exact weight has never been officially confirmed, so the figure above is an approximate estimate.

Family Members of Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka comes from a close-knit family of five in Bengaluru. Her father, Rajesh Patil, is a businessman who also ran the cricket academy where she first picked up a bat and ball. He was the one who spotted her potential and gave her the basic coaching that laid the foundation for everything that followed. Her mother is a homemaker who has quietly handled things at home while her daughter chased cricket around the country and the world.

She has two siblings: a sister named Bhoomika Patil and a brother named Adarsh Patil. The family prefers to stay away from the spotlight, but they have been her biggest supporters from day one. Shreyanka has often spoken about how special it felt when her parents and her coach came to watch her play for India.

Arjun Dev isn’t family by blood, but he is almost family in every other way. After her RCB retention call ahead of WPL 2026, one of the very first people she video-called was “Arjun sir”, and both of them ended up in tears.

Shreyanka Patil Career Journey

From an academy run by her father to an Asian Games podium, Shreyanka’s career has moved fast, with a few painful pauses in between. Here is how it unfolded, step by step.

Age-Group and Club Cricket

Her professional journey began when she made the Karnataka Under-16 squad, and she even captained the Karnataka U-16 side in some tournaments. In club and corporate cricket, she produced some eye-catching numbers, including a spell of 6 wickets for 4 runs for Rajajinagar Cricketers and a 9-for-24 haul in a corporate match. She also scored a century in a tournament match for NICE Academy, proof that her batting was more than an afterthought.

Karnataka Senior Debut (2019)

Shreyanka made her senior debut for Karnataka in October 2019 against Puducherry, taking 1 for 21 in two overs. Her real breakout in domestic cricket came in November 2022, when she returned stunning figures of 4 for 7 in four overs for South Zone against North East Zone in the Senior Inter-Zonal T20 competition. In January 2023, she showed her batting skills too, smashing a maiden List A fifty, a knock of 73 against Arunachal Pradesh.

WPL 2023: The RCB Arrival

In February 2023, RCB picked her up for ₹10 lakh at the first-ever WPL auction. It was a modest price, but she quickly became one of the talking points of a season where RCB otherwise struggled. She took 6 wickets in 7 matches and impressed everyone with her energy and her habit of attacking batters rather than just containing them.

Emerging Asia Cup Heroics (June 2023)

Playing for India A at the 2023 ACC Women’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Hong Kong, she finished as the leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets. Her 5 for 2 against Hong Kong was ridiculous, and she followed it up with 4 for 13 in the final against Bangladesh A to help India win the title.

Making History in the Caribbean (August 2023)

Guyana Amazon Warriors signed her for the 2023 Women’s Caribbean Premier League, and she became the first Indian woman to play in the WCPL. She didn’t just turn up for the experience either. She ended the tournament as its leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets at an average of 11.66.

India Debut (December 2023)

Those performances made the selectors take notice. She received her maiden India call-up for the home T20I series against England and made her debut on 6 December 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, taking 2 for 44. Later that month she was handed her ODI cap (number 141) against Australia on 30 December 2023, becoming a two-format international within weeks.

WPL 2024: Purple Cap and the Title

This was the season that made her a star. Shreyanka picked up 13 wickets in 8 matches to win the Purple Cap, was named Emerging Player of the Season, and took 4 for 12 in the final against Delhi Capitals as RCB won their maiden WPL title. What makes that final spell even more remarkable is that she reportedly bowled it while carrying a hairline fracture.

Asia Cup and T20 World Cup 2024

She was part of India’s squad that finished runners-up at the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, although an injury during the tournament interrupted her campaign. She recovered in time to travel with India to the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE, and later in October 2024 she was named in the ODI squad for the home series against New Zealand. By the end of the year, she was shortlisted among the four nominees for the ICC Women’s Emerging Cricketer of the Year 2024.

The Injury Phase (2025)

Then came the toughest period of her career. A shin injury kept her out after the 2024 T20 World Cup, and in February 2025 she was ruled out of the whole WPL 2025 season, with Sneh Rana coming in as her replacement. More setbacks followed, and she ended up missing more than a year of cricket, including the 2025 ODI World Cup at home, which India went on to win. Watching that from the outside hurt, but she kept grinding at the National Centre of Excellence and at NICE, and returned to action in domestic cricket and the 2025 WCPL.

WPL 2026: Retention and Redemption

Despite not playing for over a year, RCB showed huge faith in her by retaining her for ₹60 lakh ahead of the WPL 2026 mega auction, alongside Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh and Ellyse Perry. She later admitted she went completely “blank” when head coach Malolan Rangarajan gave her the news. She repaid that trust in style. On 16 January 2026 she took her maiden WPL five-wicket haul, 5 for 23 against Gujarat Giants, which turned out to be the best bowling figures of the entire season. She finished with 11 wickets in 9 games as RCB won their second WPL title.

Return to the India Side (February 2026)

Her WPL form earned her a recall to India’s T20I squad for the multi-format tour of Australia in February–March 2026. It was her first international assignment since the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Heartbreak

Shreyanka was picked for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England. She bowled three tidy overs for 17 runs in India’s opening win over Pakistan. But on 17 June 2026, against the Netherlands at Headingley, she rolled her right ankle while fielding during her very first over, was stretchered off, and was ruled out of the tournament. Leg-spinner Prema Rawat replaced her in the squad.

Asian Games Gold (September 2026)

The comeback this time was quicker. She was named in India’s squad for the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, subject to fitness clearance, and she made it. In the final on 22 September 2026, India crushed Sri Lanka by 147 runs, and Shreyanka took 2 for 9, including the final wicket to wrap up the win. It was India’s first gold of the Games and, as she said herself, the first gold medal of her career.

Relationships and Personal Life

Shreyanka Patil is not married, so there is no husband in the picture, and she has never publicly confirmed a boyfriend or relationship either. At 24, her entire focus seems to be on cricket, staying fit and making up for the time she lost to injuries.

Off the field, she is known as one of the most cheerful characters in the Indian dressing room. Teammates and coaches describe her as bubbly and fun-loving, but there is a serious side too. She chose to live alone near her academy as a teenager just to train better, which says a lot about her discipline. She loves animals, enjoys her fitness routines, and has spoken about how she handles pressure by practising tough match scenarios again and again. She is also a huge Virat Kohli fan, and getting to share the RCB brand with her idol has been a dream come true for her.

Batting and Bowling Style

With the ball, Shreyanka is a right-arm off-spinner, but not the slow, loopy kind. Her coach Arjun Dev has pointed out that she bowls at a quick pace for women’s cricket, and her height helps her extract extra bounce. Because she started out as a medium pacer before switching to spin, she has a strong, energetic action, and she likes to attack the stumps and look for wickets rather than just bowl dot balls. That wicket-taking mindset is exactly why she has been so effective in the powerplay and at the death in T20 cricket.

With the bat, she is a right-handed lower-order hitter who can be handy in the final overs. Her domestic record includes a List A half-century (73 against Arunachal Pradesh), and she has scored a century in academy cricket, so there is genuine batting ability there. She calls herself an all-rounder and once said she wants to be an “X-factor” player, someone who can change a game in any department. Add her sharp fielding, and you can see why captains love having her in the XI.

Lifestyle, House and Car Collection

Shreyanka’s lifestyle is surprisingly simple for someone with millions of fans. Since her teenage years she has lived on her own in a rented apartment close to NICE Academy in Huttanahalli, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, so that her training is just a short walk away. Her family home is in the main city of Bengaluru. She has not publicly shown off any luxury property.

As for cars, there is no confirmed information about her owning any luxury vehicles, and she has never made a show of it on social media. Her days usually revolve around training, gym sessions, rehab work and travelling for matches. She enjoys photoshoots and brand campaigns, likes spending time with her family and pets, and is known to be a big foodie in a fun, carefree way when she is off duty.

Net Worth, Salary and Income Sources

Shreyanka Patil’s estimated net worth in 2026 is around ₹3 crore to ₹5 crore. This is an estimate, since she has never disclosed her exact earnings, but her main income streams make the picture fairly clear.

The WPL is her biggest single source. She started at ₹10 lakh with RCB in 2023, and her retention ahead of the 2026 mega auction raised her salary to ₹60 lakh per season. On top of that, she earns match fees for playing for India, where the BCCI pays women the same match fees as men in international cricket. Her stints in the Women’s Caribbean Premier League and domestic cricket for Karnataka add to her income too.

Endorsements have become a big part of her earnings as well. She has worked with brands such as Adidas, BOBCARD, Duroflex and Fast&Up, and in 2026 she was announced as the brand ambassador for KLF Nirmal coconut oil in Karnataka. With over 5 million Instagram followers, she is one of the most marketable women cricketers in India, so her brand value is expected to keep rising.
