According to former journalist Satish Visawanath Prakhar started to play cricket since he was 11 and has been with the SIX Cricket Academy from 2017. The SIX cricket Academy is based at the Padukone-Dravid Centre of Sports Excellence in Bengaluru.
Coming to the match, opting to field, Karnataka's Hardik Raj snapped four wickets as they bundled out Mumbai for 380 runs in the first innings. Opener Ayush Mhatre was the top scorer for the visitors with 145 runs while Ayush Vartak smashed 73 runs to help his side achieve a respectable total. However, everything got overshadowed once Prakhar Chaturvedi stepped out on the field as he carved out a niche for himself.
Interestingly, India head coach Rahul Dravid's son Samit was also the part of Karnataka's U-19 team, but he couldn't make any impact with the bat as he fell early on 22 runs off 46 balls while batting at number five. However, he picked two wickets including Vartak's.
