Khush Singh, better known by his in-game name “Joker”, is one of India’s fastest-rising BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) players. Coming from Bihar, he has shown the world how passion and dedication can turn dreams into reality. Today, Joker is a fan-favorite esports star, known for his sharp gameplay, clutch moments, and inspiring journey.

Early Life: A Gamer from Bihar

Like many youngsters, Joker loved playing mobile games. But for him, gaming was more than fun it was a passion. He picked up BGMI (earlier PUBG Mobile) at an early stage and spent countless hours practicing. While others played casually, Joker focused on improving his reflexes, aim, and strategies.

This dedication laid the foundation for his future in esports. Even when he wasn’t in the spotlight, Joker worked hard behind the scenes to polish his skills.

Global Esports and the First Major Breakthrough

Joker’s big break came when he joined Global Esports during BGMI Season 1. This was a landmark tournament for Indian gaming, featuring giants like GodLike, Orangutan, and Team Soul.

Global Esports delivered stunning performances, and Joker played a key role in clutch moments. His aggressive style, quick thinking, and fearless moves made him a fan favorite. That tournament put his name on the map.

Facing Challenges: Allegations and New Beginnings

Like every rising star, Joker’s career also saw tough times. In 2023, allegations of hacking surrounded his then-team, Team Maya. Hashtags like #MayaHacker started trending. The controversy led to the team being disbanded, and Joker’s career looked uncertain.

But instead of giving up, Joker bounced back. Soon after, Blind Esports was rebuilding its roster. Joker, along with Mannya, Rauni, and Nakul, joined forces. This move proved to be a turning point in his career.

Blind Esports Era: Total Domination

With Blind Esports, Joker unleashed his full potential. His clutch plays and aggressive finishes became the highlight of tournaments.

In 2023 alone, Blind Esports secured eight championship victories, including:

  • Skyesports Champion Series
  • BGMI A2 2023
  • Multiple S-tier events

This dominance made Joker one of the most feared assaulters in BGMI. Fans and analysts started calling him a future legend of Indian esports.

Joining Team Soul: A Dream Come True

At the end of 2023, the Indian esports scene saw major roster changes. Team Soul disbanded its old lineup and made a blockbuster signing by picking up the entire Blind Esports squad, including Joker.

For Joker, this was nothing short of a dream. Team Soul is one of India’s most iconic BGMI brands, and representing them gave him both fame and responsibility. His role shifted from just an assaulter to a true team player, guiding strategies and lifting teammates in crucial moments.

With Team Soul, Joker achieved another massive milestone winning BGMS Season 3. This victory cemented his name as one of the top players in India.

The Next Chapter

In 2024, Joker moved to Team XSpark, joining forces with top talents like Sarang, SprayGod, and Shadow. This lineup quickly became a fan favorite. Joker’s performances in tournaments like BMPS and BGMI Pro Series were proof of his consistency and hunger for success. But currently he again join Soul.
