Coming from Meerut, Praveen had already been known for his swing despite his decent pace. On debut, he bowled brilliantly, taking three wickets in each innings (3/38 and 3/42). His ability to move the ball both ways played a crucial role in India’s 63-run win.

In his five-year-long international career, he featured in 84 games across formats, bagging 112 wickets. However, consistent injuries sidelined him from the team numerous times.
