He was one of those talented young cricketers who chose to play the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL). He was the vice-captain for his side, Chennai Superstars, which was leg by Stuart Law. With the BCCI refusing to accept ICL, the players who played the rebel league were banned by the Indian board and Rajagopal Sathish had to bear the brunt as he could not play cricket in any of the BCCI recognised tournaments.
However, the board lifted the ban which allowed him to play domestic cricket. Born in Trichy, Sathish moved to Chennai as he did not have good cricketing facilities in his home town. He made his first-class debut with Tamil Nadu during the 2000-01 season but lack of opportunities forced him to move to Assam. He excelled there and he made return to the Tamil Nadu side again.
Sathish is a good fielder, while he is a handy batsman to have lower down the order. After the BCCI lifted the ban on ICL players, he was given an IPL contract by Mumbai Indians in 2010 for whom he played a few matches. In 2012 though, he was roped in by the Kings XI Punjab, for whom he played until 2013, before going unsold in the auctions for IPL-7.
