Growing up in a region where cricket resources were scarce, Kamsha's introduction to the game was through street cricket with friends, where rudimentary gear and a tennis ball sufficed for countless spirited encounters.

Kamsha's initial foray into competitive cricket commenced during his school years. His passion for the game was undeniable, with many local coaches quickly recognising his potential behind the stumps and his right-hand batting prowess.

Kamsha soon became an integral part of his team, celebrated for his acrobatic wicketkeeping and handy contributions with the bat lower down the order.

A hallmark of Kamsha’s career has been his performances in high-pressure matches. The rivalry with a neighbouring state team remains etched in the memories of fans, especially the thrilling encounter during the Ranji Trophy finals, where Kamsha’s quick reflexes resulted in five crucial dismissals, ultimately leading his team to lift the prestigious trophy. His 45-ball 60 in another tight contest showcased his calculated aggression and strategic acumen.

His playing style balances aggression with caution. While Kamsha’s right-hand batting often involved anchoring the innings in challenging situations, his wicketkeeping was defined by sharp reflexes and an uncanny ability to read the game, setting up key dismissals. With a penchant for adaptability, his bowling, though less frequent, added depth to his team’s options.
