while running

./gradlew run

the program doesnt wait for the input. I want to take in input from the stdin, hence i am using readLine(). Do we have to specify some args in build.gradle.kts?

Yes, run is a JavaExec typed task.
JavaExec has a property standardInput which by default as documented is set to an empty stream.
Set it to <http://System.in|System.in> and it should work.
