Ashwani Kumar, born in mid-2001 in Mohali, began his competitive cricket journey for Punjab during the 2019-20 edition of India’s prestigious first-class tournament, the Ranji Trophy. The left-arm fast bowler had to wait an additional two years to receive his maiden List A cap and another year to make his T20 debut for Punjab in the 2022 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Ashwani Kumar’s hard work and perseverance eventually paid off during the 2024 edition of Punjab’s elite T20 competition, the Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup, where he picked up 11 wickets in just six matches at an average of 21.27.

Ashwani Kumar’s hard work and perseverance eventually paid off during the 2024 edition of Punjab’s elite T20 competition, the Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup, where he picked up 11 wickets in just six matches at an average of 21.27. Turning out for the Agri Kings Knights, the speedster claimed four of those wickets in a match-winning performance against the Trident Stallions, conceding just 21 runs in his four overs.

Aged 23 at the time, the prodigious fast-bowling talent from Punjab also recorded astonishing figures of 3-37 on his return to List A cricket after a gap of more than two years. He delivered the performance in his first appearance of the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy season against Arunachal Pradesh in Ahmedabad. His spell set up Punjab’s emphatic nine-wicket victory and justified the faith of the Mumbai Indians franchise owners, who had shelled out some big bucks on him a month earlier in Jeddah.
