Pradyumansinhji was a son of Thakur Sahib Lakhajiraj of Rajkot, one of the more prominent rulers of the Kathiawar Agency under the British Raj. The Rajkot ruling house, like several other princely families of Saurashtra such as Nawanagar, Limbdi and Patiala, was closely associated with the patronage and playing of cricket in early twentieth-century India.
Pradyumansinhji played first-class cricket in the era when Indian domestic competition was organised around regional and princely teams, including sides representing Western India, Kathiawar and Saurashtra. Players from ruling families of the region commonly turned out for these teams, and his appearances place him within that tradition of aristocratic cricketers who contributed to the growth of the first-class game in western India.
His career reflects the wider role of Kathiawar's princely households in shaping Indian cricket before and after Independence. The same milieu produced figures such as Ranjitsinhji and Duleepsinhji of Nawanagar, and the integration of these princely teams into the Ranji Trophy structure, named after Ranjitsinhji, formed the institutional foundation for cricket in modern Gujarat and Saurashtra.
