Anuj Rawat, the young and promising batsman from the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has recently made headlines for his remarkable performance in the Delhi Premier League. Rawat, who is part of the East Delhi team, scored an explosive 121 runs off 66 balls in a match against Old Delhi, including 6 fours and 11 sixes. This innings has drawn considerable praise and has sparked discussions about his potential.
In a recent interview, Rawat shared that he is honored to be compared to Australia’s legendary wicketkeeper-batsman, Adam Gilchrist. “I like Adam Gilchrist very much. Fans call me Gurgaon’s Gilchrist, and it is an honor for me,” Rawat remarked. The comparison to Gilchrist, known for his aggressive batting and game-changing performances, reflects Rawat’s own burgeoning reputation as a dynamic and powerful batsman.

Challenges in IPL 2024
Despite his success in the Delhi Premier League, Rawat’s IPL 2024 season was less stellar. He managed only 98 runs across 5 matches, which has led to speculation about his future with the franchise. As the mega auction for the next IPL season approaches, it remains to be seen whether RCB will retain him or if he will enter the auction pool. His performance in the Delhi Premier League might influence the decisions of IPL teams looking to bolster their squads.
