Born at the dawn of the new millennium on 1st January 2001, P S Deepu's entry into the world of cricket seemed almost serendipitous, as if fate had gently nudged them towards the game. Growing up in the cricket-loving suburbs of Chennai, Deepu was drawn to the game from a tender age, their early years marked by afternoons spent perfecting their bowling action in narrow lanes and on makeshift pitches. It was this relentless dedication that eventually caught the eye of a local coach, who saw in Deepu a kernel of potential waiting to flourish.

Deepu’s journey from the dusty backyards to the polished turf of professional cricket was nothing short of meteoric. By their late teens, Deepu had worked their way into the state team, consistently turning heads with an uncanny ability to read the game and adapt. Making a professional debut just shy of turning 18, Deepu was immediately put to the test in a match that demanded every ounce of their resolve. They showcased a composed, adaptable batting approach, capable of stabilising an innings or accelerating as the situation demanded—a skill as invaluable as it is rare.

However, it is Deepu’s bowling that truly defines their career. A versatile bowler, Deepu mastered the art of movement, swinging the ball prodigiously on humid subcontinental pitches while learning to extract the sharp bounce needed on tours abroad. This adaptability became Deepu’s calling card, earning them acclaim and a reputation that grew match by match.

Among the defining milestones of Deepu's career was the thriller against their fierce rivals, Karnataka, where they pierced through the batting line-up to clinch a dramatic victory, defending a meagre target. Matches like these, laden with tension and expectation, often brought out the best in Deepu, highlighting their capacity to deliver when it matters most.

Over the years, Deepu has set benchmarks that others aspire to, frequently spearheading their team’s charge and contributing crucial lower-order runs. While records come and go, the essence of Deepu’s impact lies in their unwavering ability to transform the game, leaving an indelible mark on the pitch and in the hearts of those who have witnessed their journey—a testament to the artistry and tenacity that define the game of cricket itself.
