A left-arm swing bowler who hails from Vartej. Sakariya grew up wanting to be a batsman, but turned towards fast bowling when he was in class XI because that helped students get a lot of 'bhaav' (attention) in school, Chetan sakariya bowling. He trialed with the Mumbai Indians and the Royals. He was eventually picked up by the Royals at the February auction for INR 1.2 crores for his maiden IPL stint. In 2020, he was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore contingent in UAE as a net bowler. The 2021 auction was bittersweet because Sakariya lost his younger brother, who died by suicide just three weeks prior to that. Sakariya first made waves locally when he impressed for Saurashtra six years ago in the Cooch Behar Trophy, where he picked up 18 wickets in six games, including 5 for 84 against Karnataka Under-19 to help his side get a first-innings lead. These performances led to him earning a scholarship and getting a chance to train under Glenn McGrath at the MRF Pace Foundation, ipl 202
