Ayan Gupta

Ayan Gupta, born on 24th March 1995, in the vibrant city of Kolkata, India, has carved a niche for himself in the world of cricket with his impeccable batsmanship. From a tender age, Ayan seemed destined for sporting greatness. His early cricketing days were spent in the dusty grounds of his local neighbourhood, where his natural ability to wield the bat was honed in countless street matches. By his teenage years, his talent had begun to attract attention, leading to his selection for the state under-16 team.

Ayan’s journey to professional cricket was marked by both determination and talent. He made his first-class debut at the age of 19 for Bengal, and quickly became known for his calm and collected demeanour at the crease. His adaptable batting approach soon became a hallmark of his playing style, allowing him to anchor the innings and accelerate when required seamlessly. He displayed an uncanny ability to read the game, making him a reliable hitter in clutch situations.

One of Ayan's notable achievements came during the 2018 Ranji Trophy season, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer, despite facing some of the fiercest bowling attacks in the domestic circuit. His stellar performance not only garnered media attention but also earned him a spot in the Indian Premier League, where he was instrumental in his team's run to the finals, demonstrating his knack for rising to big occasions.

Ayan's cricketing career has been defined by memorable matches that have left an indelible mark on those who witnessed them. His outstanding century against Mumbai in the Ranji semifinals is remembered vividly by cricket enthusiasts, a game that featured fierce contests with emerging pace bowlers. His rivalry with some of the premier bowlers of his generation added an intriguing chapter to domestic cricket tales.

Though primarily celebrated for his batting prowess, Ayan's versatility extends to his part-time bowling. While not an orthodox bowler, his ability to bowl both off-spin and medium pace has given his team valuable breakthroughs at crucial moments, enhancing his role as an all-round contributor.

Throughout his career, there have been moments that underscored his impact on the game, none more heart-pounding than his match-winning six that clinched the T20 trophy for Bengal. That moment, infused with sheer audacity and skill, exemplified the cricketer’s influence in defining matches and, indeed, his legacy in Indian cricket.
