    Prakhar is born and brought up in Bengaluru. His father is a software engineer and works for start-up while his mother is a technical officer in Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO). In an interview to Indian Express, father Sanjay Chaturvedi said that although he wanted his son to excel in studies, his focus shifted completely to cricket in last couple of years. “We are from Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, but I have been living in Bengaluru for more than two decades now. I am an IIT BHU pass-out myself, and obviously, I wanted him to focus on his studies, but for the past couple of years, cricket has taken over. He has good grades in Class XII and is now in BA first year and is pursuing economics,” Chaturvedi said.

    Prakhar was passionate about cricket and used to play the sport for fun when one of his father’s friends pushed him to send him to an academy. His father did the same and Prakhar was then going to SIX academy, which is based at the Padukone-Dravid Center of Sports Excellence in Bangalore.

    Prakhar has received coaching from K Jehswant, former Karnataka player, who feels the boy has a long way to go. “The boy has to go through a lot. He was struggling to make it into the state U-19 team. Not many people believed in his ability. He has been a very good player for us,” said Jeswanth.
