Biography

Amit Kumar is a dynamic right-handed all-rounder and leg-break bowler who has become a prominent name in Indian domestic cricket through his performances for Jharkhand. Born on November 2, 2002, in Ranchi, Jharkhand, he represents the new generation of cricketers emerging from the region known for producing resilient and high-impact players. As a dual-threat athlete, he primarily functions as a middle-order batter and a crafty leg-spinner, a combination that has made him a versatile asset in shorter formats.


His domestic rise is a story of persistence, having served as a long-time net bowler for visiting teams in Ranchi before breaking into the professional ranks. He made his mark in the local T20 circuits, representing teams like the Singhbhum Strikers, Dumka Daredevils, and Dhanbad Dynamos in the Jharkhand T20 League. His ability to provide crucial breakthroughs and score quick runs under pressure eventually led to his inclusion in the Jharkhand state squad for major BCCI tournaments, including the Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, making his debut in both in 2024. He has a List A hundred to his name, and in 2026, on his first-class debut socred a fine 98 in the first innings.


The pinnacle of his career trajectory thus far arrived in late 2025, when his years of hard work as a domestic standout and net bowler culminated in a life-changing IPL contract. Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired Amit during the mini-auction for the 2026 season. While his international journey is still in its nascent stages, his selection for the IPL.


Amit Kumar embodies the relentless spirit of modern Indian cricket, where talent from smaller towns can ascend to the grandest platforms through sheer grit. His journey from the nets of Ranchi to the dugouts of the IPL is a testament to his unwavering dedication and tactical intelligence on the field. As he continues to hone his leg-spin variations and middle-order finishing skills, he remains a vital spark for his team and a true inspiration for aspiring cricketers across the country.
