The Indian Premier League is one of the biggest cricket tournaments in the world. It has offered a platform to many cricketers to showcase their talent to the world. They get an opportunity to show their talent to the world, and on top of that, after impressing franchises, they even earn big deals. The same trend has continued in IPL 2022.
Several cricketers belonging from financially weaker families have earned fame and name in this year’s IPL so far. Here’s a list of five such players:
1. Kuldeep Sen has been a match-winner for RR in IPL 2022
Fast bowler Kuldeep Sen belongs to a family, where his father works as a barber. Sen has been a game-changer for Rajasthan Royals this season and has helped them win matches.
2. Umran Malik
Another express Indian pacer to feature on the list is Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Umran Malik. His father still runs a fruits and vegetables shop in Jammu and Kashmir.
3. Rinku Singh won his first Man of the Match award in IPL 2022
Rinku Singh’s father delivered LPG cylinders when he was young. He had almost accepted a career of domestic worker, but he did not give up on cricket and is a match-winner for KKR in 2022.
4. Rovman Powell
Rovman Powell had promised his mother that he would take his family out of poverty. By earning an IPL contract and winning prizes in IPL 2022, he has taken a step forward in that direction.
5. Tilak Verma
Young batter Tilak Verma’s consistency has been one of the few bright spots for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2022. Verma fought poverty and was brought up in struggle but is now having a great time in this season. He is likely to be with the Mumbai-based franchise for a considerable period now.
