Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Noida Kings have appointed experienced Uttar Pradesh batter Madhav Kaushik as their captain for the fourth edition of the UP T20 League, as the franchise looks to mount a strong challenge for the title in the upcoming season.

His highest score was an explosive 95 off just 31 balls, an innings that included 10 fours and seven sixes and came at a strike rate of 306.45. Across the first three editions of the competition, Kaushik has therefore amassed 1,002 runs, making him one of the league's most experienced and productive batters. Beyond the T20 format, Madhav has established himself as a dependable top-order batter for Uttar Pradesh in first-class cricket. He has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1,441 runs in 41 innings at an average of 37.92, with four centuries and five fifties. His highest first-class score is 185 not out against Nagaland in the 2025-26 season.
