Pratika Rawal is a rising sensation in Indian cricket, known for her technically sound yet aggressive batting at the top of the order. A former national-level basketball player, she made a seamless transition to cricket, debuting for India in late 2024. She played a pivotal role in India’s historic 2025 ODI World Cup victory, scoring a crucial century against New Zealand and finishing as one of the tournament's leading run-scorers. Although an unfortunate ankle injury sidelined her for the final, her record-breaking start to international cricket—including being the fastest Indian to 1,000 ODI runs—has cemented her future as a national cornerstone.
