Mukesh Kumar on making it into the Indian squad
“My dream is now in front of me. I always wanted to be here — to play Tests for India. And, I’ve finally arrived. I’m sure dad would be happy now seeing my rise. Mummy, papa’s support will always be there and to all my friends for believing in me… Vision 2020. Sourav Ganguly Sir, Joydeep (Mukherjee) Sir and my guru Ranadeb Bose sir who has always guided me in red-ball cricket. Without their help, I don’t think I would have survived,”. Mukesh Kumar was quoted Times of India.
He further added on his srart of the journey and said that
“Kahan se start kiya tha, aur kahan pahuncha (from where I began and where I’m now, it feels completely surreal),” the pacer Mukesh Kumar added.
