Raghuvanshi looks to build on recent good form

October 17, 2026

Angkrish Raghuvanshi is set to make his return to Mumbai’s first-class lineup after a finger injury sidelined him during the Indian Premier League, with the wicketkeeper-batter aiming to capitalize on a resurgent form. His recent performances at the under-23 level—including scores of 201 and 203—highlight his ability to dominate, while his IPL stint with Kolkata Knight Riders saw him amass 422 runs in 13 matches, finishing as the franchise’s top scorer for the second consecutive season with over 300 runs.

Though the injury required surgery and temporarily removed him from the game, Raghuvanshi maintained his connection to cricket through targeted training under coach Abhishek Nayar, focusing on skill refinement even during his recovery period. With limited first-class appearances since his debut two years ago, his return to action ahead of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy clash against Himachal Pradesh on Sunday presents a critical opportunity to solidify his place in the squad.
