Angkrish Raghuvanshi dropped a brilliant performance in Match 20 of Mumbai T20 2025 on Sunday against Aakash Tigers MWS. And his IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wasted no time in backing their boy with some wholesome love on social media.

KKR Gives MS Dhoni-Inspired Shoutout To Angkrish Raghuvanshi

After leading SoBo Mumbai Falcons to a five-wicket win over Aakash Tigers MWS in the last league game at Wankhede by chasing down 137-target, Angkrish Raghuvanshi's calm 41 with the bat and top-tier glovework had fans and franchises talking.

KKR posted a picture of him keeping during the game and cheekily captioned it:

“Officially entering ‘Stumps ke peeche se match badalna’ era.”

That is the kind of punchy praise that tells you the franchise is watching closely and liking what they see. This line is usually associated with MS Dhoni who was known for changing the game from behind the stumps.

Raghuvanshi isn’t just a batter anymore, he has stepped into the gloveman’s shoes with serious intent and his performance behind the stumps was as tidy as it gets.

Angkrish Calls Himself 'Gloveman' In Instagram Story

While the team was celebrating the win and the upcoming semi-final clash vs NaMo Bandra Blasters on June 10, Angkrish Raghuvanshi himself took to Instagram with a subtle flex. He posted a picture of him keeping and simply wrote: “Gloveman.”

Short, confident, and right to the point, just like his knock of 41 off 41 balls that anchored the chase. His self-awareness as a rising wicketkeeper-batter shows that he is not just batting for the scoreboard, he is eyeing a full-fledged utility role.

With franchises always hunting for multi-dimensional players, Angkrish’s stock is only going one way and that is up. And with KKR keeping a close eye, it will not be a surprise if the youngster turns into one of KKR’s main men soon.

Meanwhile, SoBo Mumbai Falcons are now into the semi-finals and will face NaMo Bandra Blasters on June 10. And with Angkrish behind the stumps and steering the ship, the Falcons are flying high at the right time.
