Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
A lucky break in 2014 meant that Mukesh Kumar was shortlisted in the state trials run under Sourav Ganguly’s Vision 2020 programme, a camp which had attracted more than 300 candidates. Despite struggling for fitness in that period, he was helped by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and his impressive performances at the club level earned him a spot in Bengal’s Ranji Trophy squad in 2015. He failed to feature in the side regularly though as a combination of injuries and lacklustre performances kept him out. It wasn’t until the 2018-19 season that he was able to break into the side on a regular basis and it was in the semi-finals of that season where he made everyone sit up and take notice. His figures of 6-61 in the second innings against a star-studded Karnataka batting line-up containing the likes of KL Rahul, Karun Nair and Manish Pandey helped power Bengal through to the final.
Mukesh continued to perform consistently at the domestic level and his efforts were rewarded when he was called up to India’s ODI side for a series against South Africa in 2022. While he didn’t make his India debut then or in the series that followed when he made the squad for India’s tour to Sri Lanka, Mukesh was in the headlines after fetching a whopping sum in the 2022 IPL Auction. Initially not even expecting himself to get picked up, Mukesh found himself getting bought by the Delhi Capitals for a staggering INR 5.5 crore - the second highest bid for an uncapped player that year. A modest man who prefers the farm to the city, Mukesh Kumar has risen through the ranks as a capable fast bowler.
