With the likes of power hitters in Liam Livingstone, Odean Smith, Jonny Bairstow (yet to play for the franchise), and Shahrukh Khan to name a few, the Kings did put on display the same during their first game of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), wherein they chased down the target of 205/2 posted by the latter with six deliveries to spare.

His platonic relationship with sports had always been there since childhood, but Cricket managed to strike a special, intimate nerve of his heart.

However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid. He thus, first finished his bachelor's in journalism and then pursued the PG Diploma course in English journalism from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC). Soon after and since 2019, he has been working at The Sportsrush. Apart from sports, he takes keen interest in politics, and in understanding women and gender-related issues.
