Kartik studied at LN Public School, Hapur, but he was least interested in studies. Kartik’s father was not financially well off, and he did not want his son to become a farmer like him. After considering various things, Kartik’s father enrolled his 11-year-old son in the Meerut City Professional Cricket Academy. After trying out different cricket branches for a few months, Tyagi realized his potential in fast bowling. With time, his performance improved and he kept taking advantage of the opportunities that came his way.

family
Kartik Tyagi comes from a low-income farming family. His father’s name is Yogendra Tyagi and his mother’s name is Nandini. Kartik’s father, Yogendra Tyagi, was also a budding athlete at a young age and was a keen shooter; however, he was unable to pursue the sport due to lack of family support. While Kartik Tyagi gave his all on the field, his father also gave his all off the field by providing Kartik with quality training facilities. Yogendra was also a farmer himself and therefore never let his son Kartik step into the fields.
He has never set foot on a field, never worked on a farm. I don’t want him to be a farmer. He wants to be a fast bowler. I couldn’t achieve my dream, I want my son to achieve his dream.”
