From struggle to crores! Mother sold jewellery, raised the house with Baba’s pension, today Kartik Sharma became CSK’s 14 crore star

Kartik Sharma:The shining stars on the cricket field often emerge from long nights of struggle. The story of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player Karthik Sharma, who is worth Rs 14 crore, is similar, where the entire family sacrificed their share to keep the dreams alive.

Karthik Sharma’s childhood was spent in financial crisis. The father did not have regular income and the responsibility of the house was taken care of by the pension of grandfather (Baba). Despite limited resources, the family never let Karthik’s passion for cricket weaken. When there was no money to buy a cricket kit, mother sold her jewellery. This decision was not easy, but the mother had full faith in her son’s dreams.

While practicing at the local grounds, Karthik many times played with old kit and worn out pads. School in the morning, practice in the evening and fitness at night – this was his daily routine. Despite performing well in many tournaments, opportunities did not come easily. His name kept getting cut in the selection, disappointment also came, but the courage of his family stood with him.

Karthik’s luck took a turn after his brilliant performance in the state level tournament. He caught the attention of the selectors due to his fast bowling and useful batting. Gradually he gained recognition in domestic cricket and then his name came up in the IPL auction. When CSK included him in their team for Rs 14 crore, it was not just the victory of one player, but the victory of the struggle of the entire family.

Today Karthik Sharma is not just an expensive player, but a ray of hope for millions of youth who dream big with limited resources. Mother’s sacrifice, Baba’s pension and one’s own hard work together proved that no matter what the circumstances are, if the intentions are strong then the destination is definitely achieved.
