Pranav Bhatia

Born on 26th February 1997, Pranav Bhatia's rise through the ranks of Indian cricket is a testament to his relentless dedication and undeniable talent. Growing up in the vibrant locality of Jaipur, Pranav's early romance with cricket began on sun-baked, dusty pitches, where he would spend countless hours honing his skill. His formative years were marked by a passion for the game, supported largely by impromptu matches with friends and guidance from a local coach who first noticed the exceptional ability of this left-hand batsman and slow-left-arm orthodox bowler.

Emerging as a promising talent in local circuits, Pranav's breakthrough arrived when he was selected for the Rajasthan Under-19 team, an opportunity that saw him refining his craft and attracting attention on a larger stage. His adeptness with the ball, characterised by a deceptively simple action and the ability to turn the ball sharply, soon paved the way for a call-up to the state’s Ranji Trophy side. Here, he made his professional debut, turning heads with a five-wicket haul that underscored his potential.

Throughout his career, Pranav has been the architect of numerous memorable victories. Notably, his spellbinding performance against Karnataka in the semi-finals of the 2018-19 Ranji season stands out. Defending a modest total, Pranav's guile and precision dismantled the opposition, earning him hero status among his teammates and fans.

In terms of records, Pranav's crowning achievement came in the 2020-21 domestic season when he became the leading wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, claiming an astonishing tally of wickets with an impressive economy rate. Such feats have cemented his reputation as a vital cog in his team's bowling lineup. While primarily known for his bowling, Pranav's batting is nothing to scoff at; his left-handed knocks, often under pressure, have provided crucial support lower down the order.

As is the case with many players, Pranav's career has been defined not just by the highs but by intense rivalries as well, most notably against the Mumbai team, a formidable adversary in India's cricketing landscape. Pranav's journey, marked by significant achievements and thrilling moments, continues to inspire a generation of young cricketers, symbolising the spirit and resilience inherent in the sport. Whether it's his ability to adapt his spin to various conditions or his knack for performing in clutch situations, Pranav Bhatia's impact on the cricket field remains indelible.
