Former Pakistani Cricketer Mohinder Kumar

Pakistani Cricketer's Legs Amputated: Every cricketer dreams of playing for their country, but only a select few achieve this dream. Mohinder Kumar from Pakistan was one such cricketer. This fast bowler, who had a stellar performance in domestic cricket for Pakistan, never made it to the national team. This was partly due to the presence of established players like Wasim Akram, Imran Khan, and Waqar Younis. However, his Hindu faith may also have played a role. Now, reports indicate that Mohinder Kumar has had both legs amputated due to a tragic reason.

Reason for Amputation

According to media reports, Mohinder Kumar, a former player and coach who played domestic cricket for Pakistan, has had both legs amputated. He is reportedly a diabetic patient. A severe infection developed in both his legs, putting his life at risk. Doctors had no option but to amputate his legs. This incident has shocked everyone.

Coached Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Sami and Tanvir Ahmed

Even after retiring from cricket, he remained involved in the sport, nurturing the talent of young cricketers. He has coached several prominent cricketers, including big names like Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Sami, Tanvir Ahmed, and Sohail Khan.

Mohinder Kumar's Cricket Career
