Emerging onto the cricketing scene as a gangly teenager, Harihar quickly became known for his deceptive right-arm offbreaks, which have since baffled countless batsmen. His early years were spent honing his craft in local club cricket, scavenging every ounce of experience he could, and by the age of 19, he had already made an indelible mark in domestic competitions.
