He is the kind of person who always looks to play cricket anywhere. Actually he is a born cricketer. I remember how he drew the cricket ground and field position in his school days. He was very interested in cricket even from his childhood," says V Ramesh, Coach of Pradosh. He added that it was Pradosh's hard work and dedication that has paid off. "He is very consistent in his performance and never compromises on cricket," he further added. He also commended the support and sacrifice made by Pradosh's parents.

I represented district U14 team at the age of 12 and in the same year I got selected for the State team. I scored 3 double centuries in State matches which was a fillip to my career," beams Pradosh Ranjan Paul. He also added that his aim is to win the World Cup for the India U19 team and to be a part of the senior Indian team someday soon.
