IPL 2026: Mother Sold Her Jewellery To Fund Son’s Dream, The Story Of Sakib Hussain
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Rising Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Sakib Hussain has captured attention not just for his impressive IPL debut, but for a journey defined by hardship, perseverance, and sacrifice, a story that resurfaced after an old video from his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders went viral.
Coming from a modest background in Bihar’s Gopalganj district, Sakib’s early days in cricket were shaped by financial constraints, with even basic equipment out of reach. “Shoes are very expensive. Proper bowling spikes cost around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. If we spend that much on shoes, then what will we eat?” he said in a now-viral video.
His mother recalled the emotional toll of those moments and the sacrifices the family made to support his ambition. “He started crying, saying, ‘Mummy, I don’t have shoes, how will I play?’ We didn’t have that kind of money. I had to sell my jewellery to somehow get him those shoes,” she said.
