We are talking about Aryaman Birla, the Birla family’s youngest scion and a probable Indian cricket star. The 22-year-old was next-in-line to take over the billion-dollar business that he still might. But, he’s concentrating on his stroke play between the 22 yards for now and here’s everything you need to know about him:
Aryaman Birla and his love story for cricket
Aryaman Birla expected to eventually join the giant commodity family business, but he had slightly different planning. He was known to have a fondness for cricket from a young age and took baby steps involving into a cricket career in his teen years. It would have been easy to join into the family business , particularly with his business tycoon father Kumar Mangalam Birla having the choice of learning tricks and trades. However, with other ambitions in mind, Aryaman has taken part into the competitive cricket sport. It’s fair to say he’s got the personality for it, leaving the fire alone.
After his maiden hundred in first-class cricket, Aryaman spoke to Economic Times and said, “One might say there’s pressure because of your name. Of course, there’s a reputation I ‘d love to create by myself. But when you’re playing you just keep your attention on the ball. It’s the 22 yards that counts. It’s a huge responsibility for me and I’d love to carry it forward.”
The net worth that Aryaman Birla would be sitting on
Now let’s talk about the billions young Aryamana would have to contend with he had joined into the giant business group i.e. Aditya Birla Group. So, his father alone has a whopping Rs 70 thousand crores of net worth. And, the company has expanded 26-fold since Kumar Mangalam Birla’s took over in 1995, from $1.6 billion to $41 billion in 2015, according to Business Insider.
The group now has a strong foothold in the metal, cement, retail, and telecom industries with $48 billion in revenue, reported on March 31, 2019. And, Aryaman Birla should have kept a position at the table of the board of directors and ultimately been the active owner of this tremendous net worth.
Will Aryaman Birla play for the Indian cricket team?
Aryaman Birla has been and will stay a few more months away from his favorite sport. The left-hand batsman suffered an unfortunate fracture in his right thumb days before the start of the new season during a practice session. However, it is not just his physical health that sidelines him. We’ve heard in recent news that Birla suffers from anxiety and has taken a cricket sabbatical to concentrate on his mental health. Despite this form it is extremely unlikely that he will soon be included in the star-studded Indian cricket team.
But, there have been positive signs in the past. The batsman, who plays in the Ranji trophy for Madhya Pradesh, has his reputation for a first-class century and was also a player of the Rajasthan Royals team in IPL 2018. As seen in his videos on Instagram, there’s no taking away from his love for the game, and his commitment to make it big.
