Parvesh has helped Gujarat Fortunegiants become one of the strongest defensive teams this season.

Parvesh was nurtured by Gujarat Fortunegiants' coach Manpreet Singh in season 5. In that season, he had taken 48 tackle points and was one of the emerging players of that season. His fabulous performances helped him to play for Gujarat in season 6 again.

The 21-years-old been in the form of his life in season 6. In the 14 matches, he has played so far, he has scored 51 tackle points at a fabulous strike rate of 61.03%. He has 4 high 5's to his name. He, along with Sunil Kumar has provided strength to the team.

His importance in the team increases as he can also play at left corner other than his left cover position. His blocks are always a point of concern for the opposition raiders. Consistency makes this unsung hero even more dangerous.

He is constantly knocking the doors of the national team. His performances could not earn him a national spot during the last year. However, he might be given an opportunity in the next major kabaddi tournament.
