Pradipta Pramanik

Pradipta Jagadish Pramanik, born on October 8, 1998, in Kolkata, West Bengal, is an Indian domestic cricketer who plays as a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and a right-handed lower-order batsman for Bengal. Known for his tight control, ability to exploit spin-friendly surfaces, and useful contributions with the bat, he has been a consistent fixture in Bengal's red-ball and white-ball setups.

Rising through the regional ranks, Pradipta represented the India Under-19 team and made his senior professional debut early, stepping into List A cricket during the 2015-16 Vijay Hazare Trophy on December 18, 2015. He subsequently earned his first-class debut for Bengal in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy season against Punjab at Amritsar on November 17, 2017.

The launch of the Bengal Pro T20 League gave Pramanik a prime platform to showcase his short-format versatility in front of packed crowds at Eden Gardens. Representing outfits like the Novus Purulia Royals, he consistently picked up critical breakthroughs and bowled in tough situations, including the powerplay overs (such as a stellar spell of 3/20 during the 2026 season). His disciplined economy rates and game awareness proved that his classical spin methods could readily outwit aggressive power hitters.

Pramanik continued to make key contributions for Bengal across the  domestic seasons, showing great consistency in both the Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Heading into the 2026-27 domestic season, Pramanik was once again named in Bengal's starting lineup for their prestigious Ranji Trophy campaign, where he starred with a crucial three-wicket haul against Delhi in October 2026 to help drive his side to a dominant victory.
