Anuj Rawat made his IPL debut in 2021 for Rajasthan Royals and then went onto play for RCB in the next three seasons. He did play some impactful knocks for the high-profile franchise but was released after the 2024 season. GT bought the cricketer for 30 Lakhs and could not get a single game in the last season, which shows his stocks have come down drastically.

East Delhi Captain Smashes Consecutive Fifties In DPL 2025

However, he remains one of the top cricketers in the Delhi cricket circuit and has now started DPL 2025 on a bright note. He smashed 55 in the first match against South Delhi Superstarz and has backed it up with a blistering unbeaten 73 off 38 balls. He hit six fours and five sixes in his knock and ensured that his team crossed the 200-run mark against West Delhi Lions.

Anuj Rawat came out to bat at number in the eighth over after the wicket of Hardik Sharma. East Delhi needed their captain to continue the good start by their openers, and he did exactly that, mixing caution with aggression beautifully.

Anuj Rawat Shows His Prowess Against Pacers

He did not attack the spinners initially in his innings, but once the pacers came into the attack, Anuj Rawat decided to unleash his range. He found an able partner in the form of Mayank Rawat, and the duo built a stand of 97 runs off just 53 balls to put East Delhi in a strong position.

Interestingly, the left-handed batter scored 54 of his 73 runs in his boundaries and was brutal against pacers. He scored 59 runs against fast bowlers at a strike-rate of 245.83 and has put his team on the course to make it two in two this season.

East Delhi Riders won their first game of the season by five wickets and have started their defence of the title on a bright note.
