Srinivasan was born in Chennai. His father was famous Tamil actor T. E. Varadan. He was first noticed when he hit 112 for South Zone against North Zone in the Duleep Trophy in the 1977–78 season. A string of consistent performances, culminating in an innings of 129 in the 1980–81 Deodhar Trophy final and an unbeaten ton against Delhi in the Irani Trophy, earned him a place in the India squad for that season's tour of Australia and New Zealand. He could, however, not make an impact in his two ODIs and scored 48 runs in his only Test, in Auckland.
Srinivasan died on 6 December 2010 aged 60 after a long struggle against brain cancer. He had had two operations and was due to have a third when he died.[1]
