Kashmiri fast bowler Rasikh Salam Dar, from Ashmuji in Kulgam, recently recorded a significant four-wicket spell while representing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. His bowling performance concluded the Lucknow Super Giants’ innings, notably with a yorker.
Dar’s career trajectory to the IPL has been marked by considerable challenges and financial hardship. Hailing from a schoolteacher’s family in south Kashmir, he faced difficulties in pursuing cricket, including securing equipment and covering travel expenses. Despite initial rejections during selection trials, his father maintained belief in his potential, and he also received assistance from various individuals throughout his journey.
