Born on 29 March 1995, Ankush Kumar's journey from a cricket-loving child to a professional allrounder is a testament to sheer determination and passion. Growing up in Patiala, Punjab, Ankush was captivated by cricket from a young age, often imitating his idols in his backyard. His natural flair for both batting and bowling caught the attention of local coaches, and by his teenage years, he was climbing the ranks in age-group cricket.

Ankush's prowess with the bat and ball became apparent during his time with the Punjab Under-19 team. His right-handed batting was characterised by calculated aggression, while his right-arm fast bowling consistently troubled batsmen with its pace and precision. It wasn't long before he earned a place in the state's Ranji Trophy team, making his first-class debut in 2015 at the age of 20. His debut season was nothing short of remarkable, leading to a call-up for various India A tours, and serving as a crucial training ground for the rigours of international cricket.

One of Ankush's defining years came in 2018 when he played an instrumental role in Punjab's surprise run to the finals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Scoring 521 runs and claiming 23 wickets, his all-round display was a decisive factor. A highlight was a thrilling encounter against Karnataka, where his unbeaten 87 not only helped snatch victory from the jaws of defeat but also underlined his ice-cool temperament in tight situations.

Ankush’s style is a blend of orthodox technique and astute play under pressure, whether he's setting up a chase or halting a batting collapse. His bowling, marked by sharp bouncers and cunning yorkers, has led to many memorable battles, particularly with rivals from teams like Delhi and Mumbai, whose wickets he often prized.

Though his journey has not been without challenges, including a spell out due to injury, Ankush's resilience has always prevailed. A standout moment came when he donned the national colours in 2021, marking another milestone in his already noteworthy career.

With each match, Ankush Kumar continues to leave an indelible mark on the game, not just through statistics, but by inspiring those who dream of rising from local grounds to the grandest arenas of cricket.
