Prashant Verma, born on New Year’s Day in 2000 in the bustling streets of Mumbai, was destined to draw attention on the cricket pitch with a story as compelling as his delivery stride. From his childhood, where he used to fashion cricket bats out of leftover wood from his father's carpentry shop, Prashant’s journey into the professional realm is nothing short of remarkable.

His path to recognition began in local tournaments, particularly making waves in the school's under-15 matches with his quick and sharp bowling.

Though primarily a bowler, Prashant had an adaptable batting style, occasionally rising to the occasion with a swashbuckling knock when need be. His memorable innings during a crucial championship game, where his unbeaten twenty-odd runs snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, is still discussed in cricketing circles and amongst fans.
