Born and brought up in Pune, Prasad was a sports enthusiast from his early childhood days. Prasad’s inspiration was his father, who was a state level wrestler. Like most Indian children he too harbored the dream of becoming a cricketer one day.

Determined to succeed in his aim, he went to every possible person for guidance and emerged triumphant.
