Chidambaram Muralidharen "CM" Gautam born March 8th, 1986 in Bangalore, Karnataka is an India domestic cricketer. He plays for Karnataka cricket team. He is right-handed wicket-keeper-batsman.

Domestic Career

For nearly five seasons Gautam was a fixture in the Karnataka line-up breaking into the team as a batsman before taking over the gloves from the long-serving wicketkeeper Thilak Naidu.

He has represented 'India Green' cricket team in the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy in 2011. He was leading run scorer for 2012/13 Ranji Trophy. He scored two double centuries in three matches.

He was the second-highest run-getter of the 2012/13 Ranji Trophy. He has been a significant contributor to his state’s success over the last three seasons. Always a source of runs for Karnataka in the lower-middle order this season aided by a promotion to No. 4, he hit the headlines with 943 runs at an average of 117.87, the highest season-tally in Ranji Trophy history by a wicketkeeper.

For many Ranji batsmen, their run haul is boosted by a bounty of meaningless second-innings runs but Gautam's numbers have hardly been padded by cheap runs. There was an unbeaten 130 in a high-scoring first-innings shootout against Tamil Nadu followed by a two-hour unbeaten 26 that denied Uttar Pradesh an outright win, a second innings 71 to help defeat Delhi despite conceding the first-innings lead, before the highlights of his season, the 250-plus scores against Vidarbha and Maharashtra.

He has 34 dismissals to go with the wagonload of runs in 2012/13 season and he was rewarded with a place in the India A side for the warm-up match against the Australians.

IPL Career

He was also part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2011 and IPL 2012, but never got a chance to make his IPL debut. His impressive batting was rewarded by the Delhi Daredevils who signed a one-year contract with him in 2013. Daredevils had the services of two other wicketkeepers in Naman Ojha who has played most often for them and Puneet Bisht as well as the part-time keeping of Kedar Jadhav.
