NEW DELHI: Jharkhand's wicketkeeper-batsman Sumit Kumar was away for some work when the IPL 2024 Players Auction was live on television. His family members, just like every cricketer's family, were glued to the television screen to watch the auction. They were hoping their son Sumit, who honed his skills under the wings of the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, gets an IPL contract.
As Sumit's name was announced by the auctioneer Mallika Sagar at the glittering event held in Dubai, his mother folded her hands in prayer.
