Kartik Sharma’s IPL journey is a story of struggle and hope. The 19-year-old was bought by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 14.20 crore at the IPL 2026 auction. His family faced deep hardship to support his dream. His mother sold her jewellery and the family sold farmland to fund his training. During a domestic tournament, Kartik and his father even slept hungry after running out of money. Kartik kept working hard despite years without selection. Strong domestic performances changed his fate. Today, his success brings pride to his family and hometown. (PC: NDTV)
