Prannav's career blossomed further as he played a pivotal role in Mumbai’s triumphant campaign in the 2022 Ranji Trophy, where his contributions were instrumental—he finished as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker. Moreover, his adaptability shone brightly during this campaign; an unexpected promotion to the batting order in a critical match paid dividends as he contributed with a combative half-century.

Rivalries spurred him on, especially his duels with Delhi's top-order—a contest eagerly anticipated by fans every season. His versatility didn't go unnoticed, as his idolised role in turning matches in his team's favour saw him earn admirers beyond local precincts.
