Kumar Kushagra, a talented young wicketkeeper-batter from Jharkhand, has quickly built a reputation as one of the promising talents in Indian domestic cricket. He began making waves at a young age and was part of India’s squad for the 2020 ICC Under-19 World Cup, gaining valuable exposure on the global stage.
Kushagra made his List A debut in the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy, followed by his T20 debut in the 2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, further strengthening his credentials as a versatile player behind the stumps and with the bat.
One of the standout moments of his career came during the 2021–22 Ranji Trophy Preliminary Quarter-final, where he first scored his maiden First-Class century and then followed it up with a remarkable double century, showcasing both his temperament and ability to build big innings.
Recognizing his potential, Gujarat Titans acquired Kushagra for the 2025 season and retained him for IPL 2026, backing the young keeper-batter to continue growing and delivering for the Titans in the years ahead. Off the field, he is known for being extremely driven and focused, with a process-oriented mindset that reflects his dedication to constant improvement and long-term success.
