Who is Mukesh Kumar?
For three years, Mukesh prepared for entrance exams to join the Central Reserve Police (CRPF) and Bihar Police. He eventually passed the written exam in 2012 but was rejected due to health reasons. It was around this time that he seriously decided to switch to cricket.
Bihar did not qualify for India’s premier domestic competition. In other words, Mukesh had no way out of his hometown. He made a living as a hired tennis ball cricketer and entered tournaments with prize money sufficient for basic needs. But when he was involved in an accident during a tournament in Bihar, his father, who taxi driver in Kolkata since 2003, decided it was time to intervene and asked him to move to the city.
