Parveen Kumar

Parveen Kumar's journey to cricketing prowess began in the dusty lanes of Ghaziabad, where he was born on 17th February 1994. From an early age, he showed a natural affinity for sports, wielding a bat with an instinctive ease that marked him as a natural talent. Parveen's early forays into cricket saw him nurturing his skills at local clubs, earning a reputation as a promising allrounder who could turn the game around with bat or ball in hand.

He made his professional debut at the age of 19, quickly establishing himself in regional tournaments, where his right-handed batting and that distinctive right-arm fast-medium pace bowling caught the attention of national selectors. Parveen's career took off when he made his first-class debut, unleashing his potential by not just scoring vital runs but also dismantling opponents with his sharp deliveries. His aggressive batting was complemented by his knack of swinging the ball, which enabled him to pick crucial wickets at unexpected intervals.

Parveen's defining moments came in the domestic T20 leagues, where his allround capabilities came to the fore. His performance in the 2016 tournament against fierce rivals Mumbai was a testament to his emerging stature; he scored a brisk 82 not out that guided his team to an improbable victory while earlier that day capturing 4 for 25 with wicked subtlety and pace. His ability to deliver under pressure became the talk of the cricketing circles, setting the stage for bigger challenges at international levels.

A notable highlight of Parveen's career includes the arduous 2018 series against Australia, where he was instrumental in sealing a critical win, executing both lower-order heroics with the bat and pivotal breakthroughs with the ball. His rivalry with Australia’s leading batsman was a magnificent subplot of the series, with Parveen often getting the upper hand during key encounters.

Parveen Kumar's playing style was marked by a strategic mind matched with an aggressive instinct. His batting was a blend of finesse and audacity, often taking bowlers by surprise with his shot selection. As a bowler, he excelled in both new and older conditions, using his ability to swing and seam the ball as a weapon to outwit batsmen. Through his career, Parveen has left a lasting legacy, not just in records and stats, but in the heart and resolve he brought to the field, consistently showcasing the spirit of the game.
