Author: Anukul Roy: The Small-Town Hero Taking Indian Cricket by Storm.
Namaste and welcome! Looking up Google Trends to-day, you are likely to see everywhere one name, and that is Anukul Roy.
The question you may ask yourself is, who is this guy and why are everybody talking about him at all of a sudden?
Anyway, take a cup of chai, and sit down and I shall tell you the tale of this interesting cricketer making the news today. It is not only enjoyed by die-hard admirers of cricket, but every people in love with a good success story will enjoy this one.
What is the reason Anukul Roy is Trending Today?
To begin with, it is time to deconstruct the “Hot News.”
Anukul Roy is the news of the hour on two colossal grounds:
The Super man of Jharkhand: Only the other day, during a very serious domestic event (the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy), his team, Jharkhand, was on its knees against Karnataka. They were losing wickets at a great rate. But Anukul stood like a wall. He had been a brilliant scorer of not out 95 scoring boundaries with sixes where all others did not score. He made his team win the match by himself! Today everybody awaits Jharkhand who has been in the finals to know whether he will repeat his magic.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Trust Him: The giant IPL 2026 auction hype is all over. As some of the large players were set free by their respective teams, KKR chose to hold on (retained) Anukul Roy. This demonstrates that a massive franchise is of the opinion that he is a match-winner.
He is trending therefore because he is currently playing like a champion and he has already got his place in the largest league of cricket in the world.
Who is Anukul Roy? (The journey of samastipur to star)
Anukul does not belong to the large metropolitan city such as Mumbai or Delhi. He was born in such a tiny area as Rosera in Samastipur, in Bihar.
His experience is highly motivational to any town dweller.
Early Life: Cricket facilities were not that great in the state of Bihar by that time. He needed to go to Jharkhand (similar to MS Dhoni and Ishan Kishan) in order to pursue his dreams.
The Ravindra Jadeja Style: Anukul is a well rounded player. That implies that he is able to bat well and bowl well. He spins left-arm (slow bowling which spins) and hits with much power. Due to his style resembling so closely those of the famous Indian star Ravindra Jadeja, people refer to him as Jadeja Junior or Jadeja of Samastipur.
His Big Break The Under-19 World Cup:
There is also a point at which every hero is initially noticed by the world. It was a 2018 Under-19 World Cup to Anukul.
He featured in the junior team of India (led by Prithvi Shaw). Guess what? He was the leading wicket-taker of India in this tournament! He played vital roles in taking important wickets and made India take the world cup home. This was the time when the experts of cricket came to realize, this boy is special.
The IPL Adventure: Mumbai to Kolkata:
His junior success was followed by the Indian premier league (IPL).
Mumbai Indians (MI): Mumbai Indians were the first to pick him. But MI is a star team, and Anukul did not get many opportunities to play in the last 11. He sat on the bench taking a lot of time and learnt with seniors.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): This was the success point. He was purchased and provided with opportunities by KKR. He proved he is a fighter. He has a great fielding (dives about like a tiger) and tight bowling.
IPL 2026: Since KKR has retained him, it implies that they have him as a core in their plans. Being fans, they are hoping that he will be able to play in all the matches and possibly by the next time, be able to play in the senior Team India!
Why Fans Love Him:
It's not just about stats. The fans are fond of Anukul due to his attitude.
He Never Gives Up: Developing a memory of that 95 inning play of mine that I was informing you about? In most cases, the players would have been panicked when the team was losing. Anukul stayed calm.
Electric Fielder: It is not possible to save more runs than a T20 cricketer makes, as a matter of fact, it is as important to save rather than make. One of the domestic circuit leading fielders is Anukul.
Lowly Origins: He reminds us that it does not actually count where one is born. With diligent work, you will be able to achieve the top.
What's Next for Anukul?
The domestic trophy Final is the direct target. Anukul will become a local legend in the event that Jharkhand succeeds.
Then IPL 2026 is going to grab all the attention. The gates to the Indian National Team (The Men in Blue) will open wide in case he is playing well there. India invariably seeks good all rounders who can turn the ball and strike huge sixes towards its closure. Anukul Roy is just such an actor.
