Angkrish Raghuvanshi, a 19-year-old emerging Indian cricketer, primarily known for his aggressive batting at the top of the order, joined Kolkata Knight Riders before the last IPL. Raghuvanshi first came to the limelight during the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2022, where he was instrumental in India’s journey to the title, showcasing his potential as a future star.

Raghuvanshi, known for his strong technique and aggressive style, got the chance to feature for KKR in the place of injured Nitish Rana and in his debut innings, he scored 54 runs off just 27 balls against Delhi Capitals. In his first season in IPL, the youngster played 10 matches and scored 163 runs. He was crucial for the Knights in the earlier phase of the season.

IPL 2025 Auction: Three Teams Who Can Buy Angkrish Raghuvanshi for Next Season

Angkrish Raghuvanshi is often considered a young Indian talent with high potential who can play multiple positions in the batting order. Known for his good technique and adaptability, can be a good long-term investment prospect for the franchises. Being an uncapped young player, he will be much more cost-effective compared to the established players.

Here are the teams who can target Raghuvanshi in the upcoming IPL mega auction:

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

KKR always have backed young Indian talents like Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer. In the last season, similarly, they discovered youngsters like Harshit Rana and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. As KKR have retained their core bowling and middle order intact, they will be looking for top-order batters. Raghuvanshi is a perfect fit for the role and the franchise will also try their best to maintain their champion squad.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

CSK is known for their strategic long-term planning and maintaining the same core team for years. However, all the legends of this team are at a retiring age or past their peak years. They need young Indian players for future investment and proper succession planning.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Like CSK, RCB also needs young Indian batters for future-proof investment and also needs to strengthen their Indian batting core. The only retained batters by RCB are Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar. Hence, a technically sound batter like Raghuvanshi will be useful for them. Besides, RCB has always been a batting-heavy team and supported young batters. It will be a good platform for the 19-year-old batter to develop.
