It is said that the child's talent is visible in the cradle itself. The story of Swastik Chikara is also something like this. When he was young, he needed nothing else but a bat from his father to play. Meaning, the passion for cricket was haunting him since childhood. As he grew up, this passion also crossed all limits. And, then at the age of 16, he reached that stage when he created a world record with an innings of 52 sixes.

Father is not happy with scoring a century, do you know why?

Currently, Swastik is in the news because he has created havoc in the UP T20 League in just 26 balls.
Swastik Chikara hit 6 sixes in the very first match of the second season of UP T20 League which started on 25th August.

With those 6 sixes, he made such an explosion in 26 balls that not only did his captain Rinku Singh smile, but the team also wore the garb of victory. Swastik is much more dangerous than the explosive he appeared in this match. This is the reason why his father is not happy if he scores a century, because he expects 200 runs from his son.

Why will money rain in the IPL 2025 auction?

Don't be surprised if the bid for 19-year-old Swastik Chikara touches the sky in the IPL 2025 auction.

Because, he has made such an identity for himself. Firstly, he is an opener and secondly, he is not afraid of anyone in pace and spin. His batting is such that even the best batsmen look weak in front of him. Above all, his ability to hit sixes is also amazing. Now who would not want to bet on such a batsman.

52 sixes, 167 balls, 585 runs and world record

The first centurion of the UP T20 League surprised the world in 2021 at the age of just 16, when he scored 585 runs in just 167 balls with the help of 52 sixes. Chikara played this innings in the 19th Balidani Ramprasad Bismil Open Cricket Tournament.

By playing this innings, he broke the record of South Africa's Shane Dadswell, who scored 490 runs in a 50-over match in 2017. Swastik Chikara, who made this record, is also the youngest batsman in the world.

Belongs to a family of players, this player is dangerous

Swastik Chikara belongs to a family of sportsmen. His grandfather was a sprinter, while his father was a shot putter and long distance runner. After seeing his son's passion for cricket, his father Surendra Chikara enrolled him in a cricket academy.

But, when he was not satisfied with the training there, he decided to train his son himself. The result of that decision of his father is that today Swastik Chikara has established himself as a batsman in front of whom bowlers are seen begging for water.
