Born on 9th January 1997, Vinay Sagar's tale is one of discipline, dexterity, and sheer determination, woven into the rich tapestry of professional cricket. Hailing from a quaint town where cricket was more a passion than a pastime, Vinay's journey began at the tender age of seven.

Vinay made his professional debut with a flourish, donning the gloves for his home club in the domestic circuit.
