IPL 2026: After Doing The Quiet Work, Kumar Kushagra Ready To Deliver For Gujarat Titans
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: When Kumar Kushagra didn’t get a game for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, he could have retreated into the comfortable anonymity of the franchise’s bench strength. Instead, he worked tirelessly in the nets, enhancing his skillsets in batting and keeping, and returned to Jharkhand to apply everything in a domestic season, which said that he was ready to do more heavy lifting through multi-tasking.
The evidence arrived in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which Jharkhand won, and Kushagra, batting at number three, was central to that triumph by amassing 422 runs in ten games at an average of 161.68 and an average of 60.28, including four fifties.
He would carry that rich vein of form in Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy matches, where Kushagra even led Jharkhand when Ishan Kishan wasn’t present. The start of Kushagra having that power-play prowess in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy came from the learnings given by GT’s director of cricket, Vikram Solanki.
