Pratika Rawal hails from Delhi and did her schooling at Modern School, Barakhamba. The 25-year-old pursued her higher education at Jesus and Mary College. She started her cricketing career with Delhi from 2021 to 2024 before shifting her base to Railways.

"Today, at the chief minister's Jan Seva Sadan, we welcomed the talented young player of the Indian women's cricket team, Pratika Rawal. Our brilliant daughter Pratika has made Delhi proud. In recognition of her commitment to the sport and her outstanding performance, the Delhi government will award her a prize of Rs 1.5 crore," Gupta said in an X post.


"Her journey shows that Delhi not only gives birth to dreams but also helps them take flight. Heartiest wishes for her bright future," she added.

Rawal had a brilliant ODI World Cup 2025 as a right-handed batter, scoring 308 runs in six innings, averaging 51.33. Unfortunately, Rawal injured her knee during India's final group stage game against Bangladesh and was ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

Shafali Verma replaced Rawal but was still part of the team and walked in her wheelchair during India's victory parade. Earlier, there was a debate about whether Rawal would receive a medal or not but eventually, the ICC mended their rules and presented a winner's medal to the India opener, who is still recovering from her knee injury.
