At that time, he thought if cricket made his father happy, he would also play cricket professionally. Kumars father is a police official. In an interview, he revealed that to watch Kumars debut match, his battalion had installed a projector in the police station, and when Kumar took his first wicket in the IPL match against Rajasthan Royals, all his fathers colleagues hugged him and started clapping.

During his initial days in Delhi, he worked as a labourer in a factory near Ghaziabad that was 80 km away from the academy. He used to work there all night and save ten rupees by walking back to his home so that he could afford a packet of biscuits.One day, his coach, Sanjay Bhardwaj, saw him bowling in the academy and asked him to stay with him in Delhi. He ensured him to take full responsibility for Kartikeya. In an interview, his coach said that Kartikeya had not eaten lunch for a year and when the cook in the academy served him lunch, he started crying. In an interview, he talked about his coach and said, Sir has taken care of me like Im his own son. I stayed with him for six years. He took care of every single cricketing expense. I was playing in Delhi at that time. I performed too, but in the trials, I didnt get selected. Then sir told me, You should go to Madhya Pradesh. I reached Shahdol and played trial matches and practice matches there, and for the first time, I got selected in the Under-23 side, as a standby.

So, he went to Gandhi Stadium in Shahdol and after his performance in division cricket, he got a chance to play in the Ranji trophy for Madhya Pradesh.When he started playing cricket, he was a left-arm orthodox spinner, but later, he learned wrist spin and continued to bowl wrist spin.
