Jitendra Mukhiya, a name that rose to prominence during Nepal’s golden climb through the ranks of Associate cricket, symbolizes raw pace, passion, and perseverance. Born on November 22, 1992, in Baglung, a hilly district in western Nepal, Jitendra didn’t grow up with access to world-class facilities or elite coaching. What he did have, however, was a natural athleticism, fierce competitiveness, and an unrelenting hunger to represent his nation with the ball in hand. Jitendra made his mark in Nepal’s domestic cricket scene through school tournaments and district-level competitions, where his brisk pace and natural outswing caught the attention of selectors. He was soon fast-tracked into the national setup, debuting for Nepal’s senior team in 2013, a year that proved pivotal not only for his career but for Nepal cricket as a whole. He was part of the squad that played in the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers, where his bowling was instrumental in helping Nepal earn a spot in the 2014 ICC World T20 in Bangladesh—Nepal’s debut on the world stage. At the World Cup, Jitendra impressed with his disciplined bowling, especially in high-pressure situations. His ability to swing the ball at pace and maintain a consistent line made him one of Nepal’s most dependable seamers in the tournament. Despite his success, injuries and fierce competition among Nepal's rising fast bowlers limited Jitendra’s appearances in later years. He was often in and out of the side, but whenever called upon, he gave everything—charging in with purpose, bowling with heart, and always putting the team first. Even when he wasn't in the national spotlight, Jitendra continued to be a prominent figure in Nepal’s domestic leagues, including the Everest Premier League, where his experience and aggression proved invaluable to the younger generation. He has also taken part in fitness and skill development camps to nurture fast-bowling talent in Nepal's western regions. Known for his calm demeanor off the field, Jitendra is deeply respected by teammates and coaches alike. He has remained humble, grounded, and eager to give back to the cricketing community that shaped him. As of 2025, Jitendra Mukhiya stands as a proud torchbearer of Nepal’s fast-bowling tradition—a player who proved that even from remote hills, one can rise to challenge the best in the world with sheer will, sweat, and a dream.
