Growing up in a country where cricket was still in its exploratory phase, Arnav's journey had its challenges.

He was instrumental in their surprising run during the T20 World Cup qualifiers, where his all-round contributions lifted the team into the global limelight. His records include a memorable five-wicket haul against a leading test nation, highlighting his knack for raising the bar during critical contests.

The rivalry with Ireland, another emerging cricketing nation, stands out as a defining chapter in Arnav’s career. A particularly thrilling match saw him guide the Netherlands to a nervy victory, finishing with both bat and ball in hand, securing his legacy as a clutch performer.

Arnav's career is punctuated by moments that underline his impact—none more stirring than his last-over heroics in a closely-fought T20, where his composure and skill tipped the scales emphatically in his team’s favour.
