Meet Angkrish Raghuvanshi, former U-19 World Cup star who scored 25-ball fifty for KKR in maiden IPL innings

Kolkata Knight Riders' rising star, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, made a memorable entrance onto the grand stage of the Indian Premier League with a bold half-century against Delhi Capitals in his debut innings. While Raghuvanshi's first IPL appearance came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he did not have the opportunity to showcase his batting skills at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

However, he certainly made up for it by delivering a dazzling display of versatile shot-making all over the field on Wednesday. Raghuvanshi's impressive 25-ball half-century at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam truly stole the spotlight.

Raghuvanshi confidently took to the crease at number 3 following Phil Salt's early dismissal, and the 18-year-old wasted no time in making his mark with two consecutive boundaries. He quickly found his rhythm alongside Sunil Narine, and together they unleashed a devastating onslaught that left the DC bowling attack reeling.
