One of the new names that popped up in India’s Test cricket recently is Mukesh Kumar. Although not yet in consistent terms with the Indian team, but he is surely one of India’s most impressive pacers in recent times. Mukesh Kumar made his international debut in 2023 against the West Indies, and for the domestic circuit, he plays for Bengal. The reason he is trending today is due to his decent bowling performance against Haryana in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he took 2 wickets and gave away 46 runs in 9 overs. Fans believe that in the upcoming Champions Trophy, he could be a valuable backup for India, even if not in the constant playing XI.
Which team will Mukesh Kumar play for in IPL 2025?
Although, as mentioned, he is on and off with the Indian team, when it comes to the IPL, he is in constant terms with Delhi Capitals, who first bought him at the big price of 5.50 crore. In his career, he has played 10 matches and taken 7 wickets. He was retained and played in the 2024 season as well, where he featured in 10 matches and took 17 wickets. His big wicket-taking ability was crucial for Delhi Capitals, leading them to buy him back through the RTM this time.
