Pratika Rawal is a polished right-handed opening batter who has emerged as one of India’s most promising talents in women’s cricket. The 25-year-old from Delhi combines technically sound strokeplay with a calm temperament, solid footwork, and disciplined defence, making her a reliable presence at the top of the order. She made a stunning start to her international career, scoring over 600 runs at an average approaching 70 in her first ten ODIs against West Indies, Ireland, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Her second ODI hundred came in a high-pressure World Cup match against New Zealand in 2025, where she was the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 308 runs from seven games before an unfortunate ankle injury forced her to miss the final, though her teammates wheeled her out to celebrate India’s victory with them. Rawal’s sporting pedigree extends beyond cricket; she also played basketball at the national level, winning a gold medal at the School National Games in 2019 before ultimately choosing cricket as her professional path. A psychology graduate, she has also been a consistent performer in domestic cricket, scoring an unbeaten 161 in her fifth List A game for Delhi before moving to Railways for the 2024-25 season.
