Arul Pragasam’s journey through the world of cricket is one steeped in passion and resilience, encapsulating the essence of a sportsman’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Born on 6th November 1993 in the cricket-loving nation of Sri Lanka, Arul was drawn to the game from a tender age, inspired by the local legends who graced the international stage. His early years were spent honing his skills on the dusty pitches of his hometown, where talent scouts first noticed his natural ability with the ball.

Arul, a right-arm fast-medium bowler, swiftly climbed the ranks through the domestic circuits, making waves with his pace and precision. His professional debut came at the age of just 19, marking the beginning of what would become an illustrious career. From the outset, Arul displayed an uncanny knack for reading the game, a quality that saw him rapidly become a feared opponent.

A significant highlight of Arul’s career was his crucial role in his team’s victory at the prestigious 2016 T20 Championship, where he not only claimed the highest number of wickets but also bowled key death overs that swung matches in his side’s favour. His spellbinding performance in the final against arch-rivals, where he took four wickets for just 25 runs, remains etched in the memories of cricket fans.

Arul’s rivalry with the celebrated batsman from a neighbouring nation added an enthralling narrative to his career, a clash that thrilled spectators with each encounter.

Beyond his prowess with the ball, Arul is recognised for his understated yet effective batting. As a right-hand batsman, his reliable lower-order contributions have dug his team out of numerous precarious situations, adding depth to his sporting repertoire.

One of Arul’s most cherished achievements was a record-breaking series where he consistently clocked speeds over 145 km/h, proving instrumental in his team’s sensational triumph. His efforts have not only shone through individual accolades but also inspired the next generation of cricketers in Sri Lanka, a testament to his enduring impact on the game.
