His batting skills caught the attention of former Indian Cricketer Irfan Pathan who has been guiding him and sharing tips with him in a video.

“Will Surely Keep an eye on him” Said Irfan Pathan after he got impressed with Mumin during the event held at CAP- Cricket Academy of Pathans Jaipur.

To achieve his dream, he has been playing cricket every day before 9 am and after 4 pm.

“My favourite player is Virat Kohli and I am following his style,” Momin told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), adding, “my family has been very supportive of me and are always encouraging me to play cricket”.

His father Liyakat Ahmad Dar said that he left cricket in 2012 after he got injured on the field. But he also has been constantly guiding his son in the game.

“My son plays with a leather ball from day one and he has been practicing on cemented turf instead of an ordinary turf,” he said, adding that the ball on cemented turf comes with more speed and it gives batsman less time to react.
