Murali Kartik pronunciation born September 11, 1976 in Madras, Tamil Nadu, India is an Indian cricketer who sporadically represented the Indian cricket team since 2000. He is a specialist slow left arm orthodox bowler known for his loopy trajectory and ability to spin and bounce, but has found international selection blocked by the presence of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. He is also a left handed batsman, and although he has had some success with the bat at first-class level with 11 half-centuries, he has not been able to repeat this at international level.
