Many of his poetry books have been published.About a decade ago, after retirement, Atul Kumar exposed the ball-by-ball institutionalised fixing in Cricket through his books and press conferences etc. He brought out the vast implications of this open massive international fraud, while proving the same mathematically also in 2013. Many public exposures from many corners thereafter during the last decade have also been confirming everything said by him. In his bid to bring it to an end, he also knocked the doors of the Supreme Court of India in the year 2017.
