A fan of Yuvraj Singh, Andhra’s S. V. Rahul slowly rises up the ranks

Andhra’s S.V. Rahul, a 19-year-old left-handed batter, has quickly climbed through the domestic cricket ranks with a series of standout performances.

His most recent highlight came in Andhra’s Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka, where he anchored the team’s recovery with an unbeaten 108 off 187 balls, helping Andhra chase down a target after being reduced to 116 for five. Earlier this year, Rahul had already made his mark in the Col.

C.K. Nayudu (U-23) Trophy with a double century against Delhi, showcasing his ability to dominate in red-ball cricket—a format he has prioritized given the limited white-ball opportunities in age-group competitions.

His consistency extends beyond first-class cricket; in the Andhra Premier League, Rahul has also demonstrated a knack for aggressive strokeplay, hinting at a well-rounded batting style that could translate across formats if he continues to develop.
