Angkrish Raghuvanshi announced himself on the biggest stage of cricket with a blistering knock on his debut for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Delhi Capitals (DC). The 18-year-old took the DC bowling attack by storm, smashing a scintillating 54 runs off just 25 balls.
Following Raghuvanshi’s impressive debut, the Indian cricketing world took notice. Star Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav, known for his aggressive batting style himself, took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) to praise the youngster.
Yadav wrote, “What a debut Angkrish Raghuvanshi.” This recognition from a player of Suryakumar Yadav’s caliber is a testament to the talent and potential Raghuvanshi possesses.
Raghuvanshi’s innings was a display of power and precision. He showcased a wide range of strokes, and didn’t bog down despite playing for the first time on as big a stage as IPL.
