This time his team Madhya Pradesh won the 2021-22 edition of India’s prestigious domestic tournament Ranji Trophy.
And Kumar returned home with the good news of victory. After 9 years and 3 months, the mother saw her son as a winner. Kumar’s mother was speechless.

Kumar wrote on social media to express his feelings – ‘I met my family and mother after 9 years and 3 months. I have no words to express this feeling. Kumar shared a picture with his mother. Kumar has already gained a reputation as a ‘versatile’ spinner in Indian cricket. The 24-year-old spinner is adept at leg break, googly, finger spin, and carrom.

And with that skill, Kumar won the title of Ranji Trophy for Madhya Pradesh. He is the second-highest wicket-taker of the season. He hunted 32 wickets in 11 innings, of which he got 5 wickets in the innings 3 times!

Why did you leave the house to get success? In response to that question, Kumar told Cricket.com, ‘I had time to go home. But the last time I spoke to Baba, he told me, since you are gone, come back only after achieving something. In response, I said only one word, ‘G’. And since I said ‘G’, I didn’t go home. I will go home only if I can achieve something.’

At one point, Kumar stopped contacting home by video call. Explaining the reason for this, he said, “Mother used to cry on video calls. He used to get emotional. So I turned off video calls and used only voice calls. I used to keep track of the house and everyone including my parents.”

However, Kumar said that he had already made several video calls. He said, ‘Yes, I made a video call after getting a team in IPL and after winning the Ranji Trophy. Earlier in 2018, I called after getting a chance in Ranji.’ It should be noted that Kumar Kartikeya Singh’s forehead was cut off when Arshad Khan was injured in the last season of IPL. He made his debut for Mumbai Indians. The spinner gave a surprise to Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson in the first over of the debut match.
