Noida Kings have confirmed the appointment of Madhav Kaushik as their captain for the upcoming fourth edition of the UP T20 League. Kaushik, an experienced batter from Uttar Pradesh, joins the Kings after a stint with the Meerut Mavericks, where he led the team to a championship victory in 2024 and a finals appearance in 2025.
His extensive background in the UP T20 League and familiarity with Uttar Pradesh’s domestic cricket framework position him as a valuable asset for the Kings as they aim to compete vigorously for the title this season.
Madhav’s 2025 campaign also underlined his leadership credentials. Kaushik has also been a regular part of Uttar Pradesh’s List A setup, with his most notable limited-overs achievement coming in the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy final, when he struck an unbeaten 158 off 156 balls against Mumbai. With Rinku Singh unavailable for Meerut Mavericks at various stages of the tournament, Kaushik took on greater responsibility and captained the side into the final. Meerut Mavericks eventually finished runners-up to Kashi Rudras after reaching the final for the third consecutive season. His red-ball credentials were further highlighted by his performances in the previous Ranji campaign, including a century against Karnataka. His innings remains the highest individual score in a Vijay Hazare Trophy final.
