Personal Life
Kumar Kushagra is just a 20-year-old playing in IPL, solely because he has batting skills to back him up. To be honest, he came this far because he was born in a cricket-loving family back on 23 October 2004 in Bokaro, Jharkhand. And just like so many players who have made it big in the cricket scene, Kumar Kushagra also started playing cricket when he was young, and he wanted to make more of it, like play on more competitive levels, and that’s precisely what he did.
Talking about personal stuff, well, we don’t know much about his love life or anything like that because he hasn’t disclosed anything to the public yet.
Professional Life And IPL Career
Sure, it is true that Kumar Kushagra is still an uncapped player who has only played in IPL, First Class and List A cricket so far. He has done super well in first-class cricket so far, like his highest score is 266 within the first 24 matches he has played. That becomes even more impressive when you get to know that it was just in 2022 when he played his first-ever first-class cricket match, and that was in the Ranji Trophy against Delhi.
Looking at his performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, it was actually Delhi Capitals that went for him in IPL 2024 auctions with a price tag of INR 7.20 Crore. Though he didn’t do well in the entire season because he only got 4 matches to play and scored a total of just 3 runs. Once again, in IPL 2025, it is the Gujarat Titans that have put faith in him and went for him with a base price of 65 Lakhs this year. Once again, so far he hasn’t gotten any chance to play, but he is looking forward to that.
