Mukul Choudhary (born 6 August 2004) is an Indian cricketer, who plays as a wicket keeper batsman. He plays for Rajasthan in domestic cricket and Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League. He is often regarded as "The next big thing" for the Indian cricket team in the near future.[1]

Choudhary made his first-class debut on 17 January 2023 in the 2022–23 Ranji Trophy[2] and his List A debut on 24 December 2025 in the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[3]

Due to his extraordinary performance in the domestic tournaets along with his above and beyond cricketing shots, Choudhary was purchased by the Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League for ₹2.6 crore in the auction.[4][5][6] On 9 April 2026, Choudhary hit a match winning 54* off 27 deliveries as he single handedly helped Lucknow Super Giants chase down 182 against Kolkata Knight Riders on the last ball.
