IPL 2026: Father Gave Up RAS Preparation To Make Me A Cricketer, Reveals Mukul Choudhary
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: After being the toast of the IPL ecosystem by hitting an unbeaten 54 to help Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pull off a three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary has revealed that his father left his preparation for the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) to ensure that he becomes a cricketer.
At the Eden Gardens, Choudhary struck an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, laced with seven sixes and two fours, and took LSG to a thrilling win after they had slumped to 128/7 and looked out of contention for a victory. Interestingly, Choudhary had pulled off an improbable chase for Rajasthan in similar fashion against Delhi in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
"It was my father's dream to play cricket at a big level, we come from a very poor family and he wanted someone from the family to play cricket. Nowadays, there is a lot of money and fame in cricket. Cricket is his favourite sport, but our family condition did not allow him to play cricket professionally.
