Pramod Kumar Sudida

Born on 26 January 1994, Pramod Kumar Sudida emerged from the bustling streets of Mumbai, where cricket is as much a way of life as it is a sport. His journey with cricket began in the dusty local grounds, where the romantic allure of the game caught his imagination and wouldn't let go. Encouraged by his father, who keenly followed domestic matches, Pramod spent hours honing his skills as a wicketkeeper and batsman—often using a battered old bat but always with an unyielding spirit.

Pramod’s progression from playground matches to club cricket was swift. His talent between the stumps, combined with a knack for quick, aggressive right-hand batting, caught the eye of scouts. At the age of 20, he made his professional debut in India’s bustling domestic circuit. The early years were a whirlwind, marked by determination that quickly translated into runs and dismissals that earned him a reputation as a sharp, calculating wicketkeeper.

Amongst his career highlights, Pramod played pivotal roles in two Ranji Trophy victories, cementing his status as a cornerstone of his team’s line-up. His record-breaking 124 dismissals in a single Ranji season continued to be a talking point. Throughout these campaigns, his poise behind the stumps and consistency with the bat lent an edge to his team, often turning intense contests in their favour.

One cannot overlook the intense rivalry with teams like Karnataka, where matches became high-stakes affairs often swaying on Pramod’s performance. Particularly memorable was the closely-fought semi-final in 2018, a match defined by his masterful century that steered his side from the brink of defeat to a hard-fought victory.

Pramod’s right-arm fast-medium bowling, rarely spotlighted but highly effective, provided strategic breakthroughs during crucial junctures. His versatility on the field made him not just a player, but an asset to his captains over the years.

His candid and understated persona has consistently drawn admiration, yet it is his unflinching desire to impact the scoreboard and the match outcome that truly sets him apart. Pramod Kumar Sudida is more than just a player; he is a testament to the rigour and resilience that define cricket in India. His career continues to be one marked by influence, steadfastness, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
