After the match, Mukul Choudhary spoke about his cricketing journey, sharing that he began playing the sport at the age of 12–13, although his father had envisioned him becoming a cricketer even before he was born.

“Even before my dad got married, it was his dream that his son would play cricket. Financial condition was not very good at the start. I began playing at 12-13 years old. There were not a lot of academies in Jhunjhunu and then I moved to Jaipur,” he said.

Emphasising his attempts to adjust to the changing demands of the game, he further stated:

“I saw how much T20 cricket is growing, so I moved to Gurgaon (now Gurugram) and stayed there for 3-4 months.”

Mukul Choudhary Views Pressure as an Opportunity

When questioned about dealing with pressure in crucial moments, the youngster stated that he prefers to view it as an opportunity.

“Pressure is always there, but God has given us this opportunity and I try to do what I can. I see it as an opportunity rather than taking pressure. My plan was to play till the end, and I believed that if I stayed till the end, I could make the team win,” he said.
