Roni Gupta, born on the New Year’s Day of 2001, heralded a fresh dawn in the world of cricket with his arrival. Hailing from the vibrant cricketing heartland of Delhi, Roni’s journey to professional cricket was much like a gripping saga of grit, passion, and above all, talent that demanded recognition. From the dusty gullies of his neighbourhood where he honed his skills with a tennis ball, to the polished turf of international grounds, Roni’s rise to prominence was as dramatic as it was inspiring.

His professional debut came in 2019, a year that cricket aficionados won’t forget in a hurry. During the Ranji Trophy season, Roni made headlines with his exceptional bowling, often bagging wickets when his team needed it the most. His adaptability in batting, though not his primary forte, has rescued his team from precarious situations on numerous occasions. Roni is often described as a bowler who bowls with the guile of a seasoned chess player, setting up batsmen only to out-think them in the next delivery.

Roni's strength lies in his versatile bowling techniques. He can swing the ball both ways and possesses a deceptive slow ball that has bamboozled many a seasoned batsman. His ability to alter the course of a match with his bowling was particularly evident in the 2021 T20 Championship where his spell of 4 for 19 against Chennai decimated their batting line-up, steering his team to a memorable victory. The "Gupta Spell", as fans fondly recall it, is still etched in the minds of many.

Despite a relatively short career thus far, Roni has already etched his name in the annals of cricketing folklore. His on-field rivalry with the legendary batsman Viraj Sharma has provided some electrifying duels, with each match drawing more spectators than the last. This rivalry, marked by mutual respect and competitive spirit, has invigorated the cricket world, giving fans performances to cherish.

However, it’s not just the records that define Roni; it’s his indomitable spirit and sportsmanship. Whether in victory or defeat, his genuine approach to the game and humility have made him a favourite among team-mates and adversaries alike, underscoring the true spirit of cricket. The future, undoubtedly, holds promises of more enthralling chapters in the career of Roni Gupta—time will tell, but the stage is undoubtedly his for the taking.
