From a young age, Gurpratap showcased an innate love for the game, spending endless hours playing with friends, and slowly, the alleys of his hometown witnessed the shaping of a future star.

Gurpratap's early cricket education was deeply influenced by his time at the local academy, where he honed his attacking right-hand batting style and crafted his pacey right-arm fast deliveries. His professional debut came in 2015 in the domestic circuit, and it didn’t take long for selectors to spot this dynamo who could wield the willow with finesse and send down thundering deliveries with equal ferocity.

Gurpratap’s career has seen phenomenal highs; one such moment was in 2017 during the Ranji Trophy semi-finals where his scintillating century, coupled with a crucial four-wicket haul, led his team to a memorable victory.
