The third son of Lakhajirajsinhji II Bavajirajsinhji, the 12th Thakore Saheb, Pradyumansinhji succeeded to the title after the death of his older brother, Dharmendrasinhji, on 11 June 1940.

[1] Like his father, who played three first-class matches, Pradyumansinhji had a keen interest in cricket, and was a patron of the game in Gujarat.

Pradyumansinhji made two half-centuries during his career, with his highest score, an innings of 77 runs, achieved against Maharashtra during the 1948–49 Ranji Trophy.

[5] In a move regarded as highly unsporting, Pradyumansinhji forfeited the match to prevent his team being associated with the breaking of such a record.

After a 1971 amendment to the Constitution of India, Pradyumansinhji was stripped of any legal recognition of his titles (as well as access to the Privy Purse), although he maintained them as a courtesy until his death in November 1973.
