Born on the first day of 2006, Nihar Parmar emerged from the cricket-rich soil of Gujarat, displaying a passion for spin bowling from a tender age. Raised in a family where cricket was both a pastime and a revered art, Parmar spent countless hours on dusty pitches, recreating the spells of legendary bowlers. His early cricketing journey was marked by long hours in the nets, honing a bowling style that would later be regarded as both adaptable and lethal.

By the time he was fifteen, Nihar had already created ripples in local circles, with his knack for strategic bowling that baffled batsmen of all calibres. His professional debut came in 2023 during the Ranji Trophy, where he quickly made his presence felt, taking crucial wickets that steered his team into the semi-finals. That year, he was also a key player in Gujarat's triumphant campaign in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.

Parmar's versatile bowling skills allowed him to adjust his line and length according to conditions and opponents, a quality that earned him a reputation as a cunning wicket-taker. Equally competent with the bat, his adaptable approach in crunch situations added depth to his team’s lower order, occasionally snatching victory from the jaws of defeat with calculated innings.

Nihar's encounters with his fiercest rival, prodigious batsman Raghav Mehta, became legendary. Their contests were often the centrepiece of domestic tournaments, with each trying to outwit the other in strategy and skill. One such match in 2024 saw Parmar dismissing Mehta with a masterful turner, a moment that not only won the game but also left spectators in awe of his tactical acumen.

Yet, it wasn’t just his physical prowess that defined Nihar Parmar; it was also his fearless heart and tactical mind. A highlight was his performance in the 2025 finals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he led with both ball and bat to seal the win, earning numerous accolades for his relentless determination.

Parmar, still early in his career, continues to inspire and entertain, embodying the spirit of a player who not only respects the nuances of cricket but constantly seeks to push beyond established boundaries. His journey is a testament to the enduring power of passion combined with sheer hard work, earning his place as one of the promising luminaries in Indian cricket.
