Kaushik Gandhi says he knew he was going to become an umpire even before he began his playing career.
His father, P. Mohan, was an umpire, and umpires and umpiring have always been a part of his life. He’s always had an “interest in umpiring.”
His not being a permanent member of the Tamil Nadu squad for the past three years and the BCCI’s player-turned-umpire offer in December 2022 have acted as catalysts for his decision to become an umpire. That offer has enabled him to straightaway become a level-2 BCCI umpire as well.
