IPL 2026: Father Gave Up RAS Preparation To Make Me A Cricketer, Reveals Mukul Choudhary
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: After being the toast of the IPL ecosystem by hitting an unbeaten 54 to help Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pull off a three-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary has revealed that his father left his preparation for the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) to ensure that he becomes a cricketer. At the Eden Gardens, Choudhary struck an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, laced with seven sixes and two fours, and took LSG to a thrilling win after they had slumped to 128/7 and looked out of contention for a victory. Interestingly, Choudhary had pulled off an improbable chase for Rajasthan in similar fashion against Delhi in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It was my father's dream to play cricket at a big level, we come from a very poor family and he wanted someone from the family to play cricket. Nowadays, there is a lot of money and fame in cricket. Cricket is his favourite sport, but our family condition did not allow him to play cricket professionally. He had already made up his mind, even before he was married, that when he has a son, he has to make him play cricket. When I was young, our family situation was not strong and it was not possible for him to get me enrolled in a cricket academy. At that time, he also used to teach in a college and was preparing for RAS as well, then he understood that either he can prepare for Rajasthan Administrative Service or he can make me play cricket professionally. So, he left his Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) preparation, did some property work, earned some money, and when I turned 12 years old, he enrolled me in the SBS Cricket Academy in Sikar city for the first time, said Choudhary to JioHotstar. Choudhary, who now trains at the Aravali Cricket Club in Jaipur, also spoke about the difficulty of finding the right training ground in a state having limited cricketing infrastructure. The challenge was that I did not know anything about cricket before I started playing at a professional level. I had no cricket connection in my family. Nobody from our area was a cricket player. I did not know anything about the sport. I remember in 2015, It was my birthday that day and my father and I left in the morning to search for an academy. There were three districts nearby - Churu, Jhunjhunu and Sikar. We were looking for an academy in those three districts. At that time, SBS Cricket Academy in Sikar had just opened up. We saw it there and decided to take admission in that academy. It was a new academy and the people running the academy were very fond and passionate about cricket. So we found the right place to begin my cricket journey, he elaborated. I remember in 2015, It was my birthday that day and my father and I left in the morning to search for an academy.

Planned Townships Like Alaknanda Gain Ground in Haridwar's Real Estate Market
The real estate landscape in smaller cities and spiritual destinations is undergoing a noticeable change. Buyers today are moving away from scattered, unplanned developments and showing a clear preference for organized townships backed by strong infrastructure and connectivity. Haridwar is emerging as a key beneficiary of this shift, especially among second-home buyers from Delhi-NCR seeking a well-connected, wellness-focused lifestyle. Alaknanda by Hero Realty One of the developments reflecting this trend is Alaknanda by Hero Realty. Located along the Delhi-Dehradun Highway (NH-58), the project is part of a larger 88-acre township in Haridwar. The recently launched plotted phase, spread across 4.7 acres with over 170 plots, saw strong demand, with the entire inventory sold out shortly after launch. With prices starting from Rs. 35 lakh, the project is positioned in the mid-housing segment and is expected to be completed by February 2029, catering to both end-users and long-term investors. What sets such developments apart is their focus on early-stage planning and infrastructure readiness. At Alaknanda, key site infrastructure, including internal roads and essential services, has already been put in place. The township also offers lifestyle features such as sports amenities, open green spaces, and community areas. Its proximity to institutions like IIT Roorkee and healthcare facilities such as Patanjali Ayurvedic Hospital further adds to its appeal. This reflects a broader shift in buyer expectations from standalone plots to integrated, self-sustained communities that offer a better quality of living. Manoj Dixit, AMM Property, and Channel Partner for Hero Realty expressed, We have been working with Hero Realty since 2020, and our experience with Alaknanda over the last five years has been quite positive. The project stands out for its well-planned layout, wider roads and ample green areas, which are key factors for todays buyers. Being RERA-registered also adds to the confidence among investors. In fact, we are seeing that many buyers who invest here often come back for repeat investments, reflecting strong satisfaction and trust in the development. The investment potential of the region further strengthens its appeal. Market trends indicate that property prices in this micro-market have grown nearly five times over the past 13 years, with appreciation levels reaching around 500%. This steady growth has positioned Haridwar as not just a spiritual destination, but also a viable market for long-term real estate investment. shared his views, I had an excellent experience with Hero Realty. The team is backed by a strong group and a credible brand, which immediately gave me confidence. What impressed me the most was their commitment to transparency and trust throughout the entire process. Its clear they prioritize quality and customer satisfaction, making the whole experience smooth and reassuring. As the city continues to evolve, the demand for well-planned developments is expected to grow further. Projects like Alaknanda highlight how integrated townships, supported by infrastructure and connectivity, are shaping a more structured and sustainable residential landscape in emerging cities like Haridwar.

Gavaskar Lauds 'fearless Prodigies' Mukul & Badoni's 'unbelievable Innings' In LSG Win
LSG Lucknow Super Giants: India legend Sunil Gavaskar lavished praise on Lucknow Super Giants wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary and batting allrounder Ayush Badoni for their innings that proved decisive in beating Kolkata Knight Riders and hailed them as 'fearless prodigies'. LSG secured a sensational three-wicket victory over KKR in a final-ball thriller at the Edens Garden, powered by an all-round team effort and a special act from Ayush Badoni and Mukul Choudhary. After the hosts posted 181/4 on the board, LSG Lucknow Super Giants got off to a steady start. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh added 41 runs in just four overs. However, Vaibhav Arora triggered a collapse, dismissing Markram before Marsh fell two balls later, shifting momentum sharply. Then, Badoni stepped up with a fearless 54 off 34 balls, laced with seven boundaries and two towering sixes. On the other end, Choudhary unleashed a breathtaking knock, smashing an unbeaten 54 off just 27 deliveries. Unbelievable innings by this fearless prodigy, Mukul Choudhary. What I love about the IPL is that every day we get to see something different. We saw David Miller of Delhi Capitals play a fantastic knock and almost help his team get over the line against Gujarat Titans in the previous match, but that knock was played by a renowned World Cup star, Gavaskar said on JioStar. Here, it is Mukul Choudhary, who stepped up and helped his side cross the finish line. This guy is a young kid who bats at number five for Rajasthan in domestic T20 cricket. He just comes into the IPL, plays an unbelievable innings and makes everyone talk about him. The confidence he showed and the way he executed his shots was simply amazing to watch. At the stage of the innings where he came in to bat, he showed calmness, took his time, settled down properly and began hitting the balls out of the ground. He even played the helicopter shot, which MS Dhoni would have been very nostalgic seeing. He turned down easy singles because he trusted his ability to hit big shots and finish the game. That was simply amazing to watch. Gavaskar also reflected on the importance of Badonis 54-run knock, calling it highly underrated. Ayush Badonis knock of 54 runs is highly underrated. This knock is what helped LSG keep believing. He is a very good all-around cricketer. He can bowl a bit and is a very good fielder. But he has been used as an impact sub this season. For him to come in and start timing the ball the way he did was just splendid to watch. Yes, he got stuck a bit because Sunil Narine was going through a beautiful spell. But when he played against the seamers, he looked in great touch and kept hammering them to all parts of the ground. Immediately after he brought up his half-century, he got dismissed. That must have been a worrying sign for LSG. But you have to give credit to Ayush Badoni. He has been playing for them for a while. He is captaining Delhi in domestic cricket. So, all that maturity is coming to the fore. From an LSG point of view, you want such players in your line-up. Yes, he got stuck a bit because Sunil Narine was going through a beautiful spell. But when he played against the seamers, he looked in great touch and kept hammering them to all parts of the ground. Immediately after he brought up his half-century, he got dismissed.
