He had played for
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) between 2008 and 2013 in the Indian Premier League. In the 2010 semi-final against
Deccan Chargers, he scored 24 runs from 15 deliveries, hitting two sixes and a four. His most significant IPL stint came in the 2011 season, where he played 9 games. Given the opportunity to open the batting in the absence of incumbent
Michael Hussey, Srikkanth started strongly with a vital 64(55) that helped CSK seal a tight two-run victory over the
Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener. However, he was unable to sustain this momentum, and would only go on to score a further 19 runs in the remainder of the season. In the 2012 season he scored 18 from six balls in a low scoring match against
Rajasthan Royals. In the 2014 mega auction, Srikkanth was bought by the
Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹20 lakh. However, he only played a solitary game for the franchise, making 3 runs in 5 balls as the Sunrisers were undone by the eventual champions
Kolkata Knight Riders. He was released prior to the 2015 auction, and would not make another appearance in the league. ==Television==
