Swastik Chikara is a name that has been making waves in the cricketing world, especially with his recent performances in the UP T20 League 2024. 

Playing for Meerut Mavericks, Swastik hammered 66 runs from just 26 balls, including 6 sixes and five boundaries to take his side over the finish line. 

Kashi Rudras, led by Karan Sharma were bowled out for 100 runs. Meerut Mavericks, in reply, chased down the target in just nine overs. 

While other batters struggled to find their timing on this pitch, Swastik Chikara seemed to be playing on an entirely different surface in Lucknow. 

A Look At Swastik Chikara’s Journey 

Swastik’s journey in cricket began at a very young age. He would often ask his father for a bat instead of toys. This passion only grew stronger as he got older. At the age of 16, Swastik made headlines by setting a world record, smashing 52 sixes in a single innings and scoring a staggering 585 runs off 167 balls during the 19th Balidani Ram Prasad Bismil Open Cricket Tournament, where he broke the previous record held by South Africa’s Shane Dadswell, who had scored 490 runs in a 50-over match. 

Swastik comes from a family with a strong sporting background. His grandfather was a sprinter, and his father, Surender Chikara, was a shot putter and long-distance runner. Recognizing his son’s passion for cricket, Surender enrolled him in a cricket academy. However, when the academy training didn’t meet his expectations, he took it upon himself to train Swastik personally.

Given his current form, it’s no surprise that teams would be eager to place high bids on him.
