IPL Career


The Rajasthan Royals, impressed by his performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy decided to rope him for INR 80 Lakhs at the auction in December 2019. It will be difficult for Anuj to break into the Royals Playing XI but he will look to learn valuable lessons from the likes of Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, and Robin Uthappa in the dugout.


Background


Hailing from Ram Nagar in Uttarakhand the left handed batsman is only in his early cricketing days and with the amount of talent he has, Rawat has a long way to go. His father Virendra Pal Singh Rawat is a farmer. At the age of 11, Anuj came to Delhi and got himself enrolled in Raj Kumar Sharma’s academy in Paschim Vihar, West Delhi.


While playing a first-class game for Delhi, Gautam Gambhir fielded at slips and guided Anuj on how to refine his keeping skills. Gambhir told the youngster that a gloveman should know their bowlers well and constant practising with them makes it better. As for Ishant Sharma, the pacer taught him the distance needed to maintain from the stumps and leg movement. Gambhir always used to mention to watch the ball and assess its movement carefully.
