Born to Lead

Leader. Bowler. Part-time WicketKeeper. Division Champion. Heart of the 2nd XI.
Vidit Gupta
From the cricket-mad streets of India to the heart of Brighton Dome Mission CC, Vidit Gupta has spent years quietly building something special — a team that wins together, grows together, and celebrates together. Calm under pressure, fierce with the ball, and always leading by example.
Where It All Began
"I am originally from India, where cricket is more than just a sport — it's a passion shared by millions. My cricket journey began at a young age, playing with friends and enjoying the game purely for fun.
Over the years, that love for cricket has only grown stronger, and it continues to be a big part of my life."
The Captain's Journey
"Captaining the 2nd XI over the past few years has been a rewarding experience. It has taught me the importance of communication, patience, and leading by example.
I've grown both as a cricketer and as a leader, learning how to bring the best out of players with different strengths and personalities while building a positive team culture."

Captaincy Style & Team Vision

When building a team, I look for commitment, teamwork, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn and improve together."

Moments of Pride
"Winning Division 12 with Brighton Dome Mission CC is definitely one of my proudest achievements as captain. On a personal level, taking a five-wicket haul in 2025 was also a memorable highlight. However, seeing the team succeed together and celebrating those achievements as a group made those moments even more special."

Ambitions & What the Club Means
"My ambition for the 2nd XI is to continue developing a competitive, supportive, and successful team that helps players improve and enjoy their cricket. I want us to challenge for promotions, play attractive cricket, and create opportunities for younger players to progress."
"Personally, this club means a lot to me — it feels like a second family. The friendships, support, and sense of community here make it a very special place to be."
