Born on the dawn of the new millennium on 1st January 2001, Nand Kumar Kurup emerged as one of the most promising cricketing talents of his generation. His journey into the world of cricket began in the bustling streets of his hometown, where he first picked up a tennis ball mimicking the legends he saw on television. By the age of ten, his precocious talent was evident to anyone who watched him play, his natural flair and understanding of the game setting him apart even in those early years.

Kurup's rise through the ranks was nothing short of meteoric. Recognising his potential, local coaches nurtured his raw talent, leading to his selection for the state under-16 team at just fourteen. This early exposure to competitive cricket honed his skills, particularly his bowling, which already exhibited impressive versatility. His ability to adapt his bowling to varying conditions quickly became a hallmark of his style, making him a formidable opponent on any pitch.

His professional debut was marked by a stellar performance that left a lasting impression in the domestic circuits. Kurup's unique ability to bowl with precision and adapt his technique to outwit batsmen saw him become a pivotal part of his team’s strategies. It wasn't long before his performances in domestic competitions led to his name being whispered in the corridors of international selection.

Kurup's career was dotted with notable achievements and memorable matches. One particularly defining rivalry was against the arch-competitors from across the border, which saw Kurup delivering spellbinding performances during tightly contested series. His uncanny knack for breaking crucial partnerships during high-pressure situations became a defining feature of his career. The match against them in 2022, where he took a memorable five-wicket haul on a deteriorating pitch, secured his status as a clutch player when the stakes were highest.

Apart from his exceptional bowling prowess, Kurup was known for his adaptable batting approach. While not the mainstay of his game, his ability to contribute valuable runs lower down the order made him a complete package.

Perhaps the most significant moment that showcased his impact was during the 2023 championship final. With his side on the brink of defeat, Kurup’s improbable heroics, both with the ball and a late batting cameo, clinched a dramatic victory. His passion and flair, coupled with his never-say-die attitude, won him accolades and etched his name into cricketing folklore.
