We are talking about Amay Khurasia who was born in 1972. The former India batsman belongs to Madhya Pradesh and he had cleared UPSC exam before his ODI debut. Khurasia is currently posted in the Customs and Central Excise Department.
Khurasia started playing cricket at a very young age and made his first-class cricket debut at the age of 17. Before making his international debut for India, Khurasia succeeded in cracking the UPSC exam.

Khurasia grabbed everyone’s attention in his debut match as he scored 57 runs in just 45 balls. But Khurasia failed to keep his good form in other matches and this eventually led to the end of his international career after few years.
