Former Indian medium pacer Praveen Kumar has now decided to try his fate and fortune at the political hustings after formally joining the ruling Samajwadi Party on Sunday afternoon.......
29 year old Praveen who has not found favour with the national selectors for the last three seasons and more after a series of seemingly career threatening injuries and has since been plying his trade for his states (Uttar Pradesh's) Ranji Trophy as well as recently launched Gujarat Lions Indian Premier League team was formally admitted into the political party of his choosing by none other than the incumbent chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.......
Meerut based Kumar who originally hails from an illustrious and decorated family of wrestlers is likely to be fielded as the party's candidate from one of the assembly constituencies in his pocket borough during the forthcoming 2017 assembly elections as Samajwadi Party bigwigs are of the considered opinion that this current cricketer turned politician stands a more than even chance of emerging triumphant at the electoral hustings.......
Kumar will juggle both careers (cricketing as well as political) simultaneously a la his more illustrious and iconic former captain and fellow cricketer Mohammad Kaif who has been actively associated with the Indian National Congress since 2014 when he unsuccessfully contested the then national elections/polls from the state's Phulpur Lok Sabha constituency and came a cropper......
PRAVEEN Here's wishing Praveen unprecedented success in his second innings or rather coming as a politician and hoping that he selflessly and conscientiously serves the folks inundating his prospective constituency rather than solely fixing his attention on filling his coffers and bank accounts like a significant majority of all present day politicians........
