Gearing up to leave for the West Indies to play the forthcoming Test series, the tall, dark and handsome bowler gets candid on marriage, babies and more.Pragyan, who’s just completed one year of married life to Karabee, is really in love with his petite wife. Ask him how has been the journey this far, and he says: “Marriage is a beautiful institution, which can make your life wholesome. I’ve been away from home for long periods, but Karabee has been very patient and supporting! Hats off to her!”
So, what gift did he give to his loving life on their first anniversary? “I gave her a designer watch and she gave me a lovely card, which I’ll cherish forever” says he.
With love blooming all around, when’s stork visiting? He laughs and says: “We’ve discussed this in detail and I’ve left the decision on my wife! Whenever she’s ready, we will have a baby, but right now I’m focussed on my game and she wants to take up a career!”

Rag him about it, and he says with a laugh: “I’m planning to go in for another one, with my wife’s name! I’m sure she’s gonna love it! But, that will happen only after the Test Series in West Indies.”
