Kushang Patel, born on the 13th of September, 1991 in India, emerged as one of the most promising talents in the world of cricket, celebrated for his mastery with the ball. Growing up in a cricket-crazy nation, Kushang’s tryst with the sport began at a young age. As he pored over cricket matches on television and raced to the local grounds, he nurtured a dream of becoming a professional cricketer. His early years saw him honing his skills on the dusty pitches of his hometown, starting off with tennis ball cricket, which laid the foundation for his disciplined and aggressive bowling style.

By his late teens, Kushang had caught the eye of selectors in local tournaments with a series of stellar performances. His right-arm fast-medium pace, combined with impeccable accuracy and the ability to swing the ball both ways, offered glimpses of his potential. This impressive form earned him a place in the state’s Under-19 team, where he consistently outperformed opponents with his wicket-taking prowess, paving the way for his professional debut.
