Growing up in the bustling neighbourhoods of the Indian capital, Vishal's journey with cricket began on the sun-drenched pitches of local grounds. His father, a cricket enthusiast himself, would take him to watch domestic matches, fuelling a passion that soon transcended from a love for the game to an all-consuming pursuit.

His allround capabilities were evident from a tender age, as Vishal began to shine in school competitions, leaving spectators captivated by his elegance with the bat and his cunning tricks with the ball.
