Early career Gurusai Dutt took up
badminton as a sport after watching
Pullela Gopichand, the
2001 All England champion, play at a local stadium. In 2005, he won the sub-junior national doubles title and also qualified for the sub-junior ABC Championship. This, according to him, spurred him to focus entirely on the sport. He started his training with Gopichand. The pair of Gurusai Dutt and K. Tarun progressed only until the second round.
The Hindu praised the enthusiastic effort and fighting quality of the pair's game play. He represented
India in the team event category, but failed to win his singles match against a
Thailand opponent. Gurusai Dutt won the 2007
Andhra Pradesh Senior Badminton Championships after defeating the top seed – his first title. He played a vastly superior and controlled game and he looked the better player.
Foray into international circuit Gurusai Dutt won the bronze medal at the
2008 BWF World Junior Championships that was held in
Pune. While he was India's National Junior Champion, Gurusai Dutt won the 2008 Dutch Junior International that was held in
Haarlem. He became the first Indian to win this title. This win was seen as a good sign for India's chances at the
2008 Commonwealth Youth Games. Carrying his form into the upcoming tournaments, Gurusai Dutt won the singles title at the Commonwealth Youth Games and Bahrain International Challenge badminton championship by the end of 2008. In 2009, he reached the quarterfinals of the
2009 Denmark Super Series. At the 2010 Yonex Sunrise India Open Badminton Championships, Gurusai Dutt created an upset in the quarterfinal by defeating former All England Champion,
Muhammad Hafiz Hashim. Both Hashim and the media reports praised him for his game play. In the same year, Gurusai Dutt represented India at the
South Asian Games. He not only won the silver medal in the singles event but also the gold medal in the team event category.
