Raj Angad Bawa, a pace-bowling all-rounder from Chandigarh, is an exciting young entry for Mumbai Indians.
Having gained national recognition for his performances in the U19 World Cup, Bawa is now set to make his mark in the IPL with the MI in the 2025 season.
Known for his all-round capabilities, Bawa’s journey from a victorious U19 World Cup campaign to the IPL has been promising, and he's ready to take on the next big challenge in his career.
From U19 glory to IPL debut
Bawa rose to prominence in 2022 when he played a crucial role in India’s U19 World Cup victory.
His match-winning performance in the final against England, where he took an exceptional 5-wicket haul, earned him the Player of the Match award and solidified his place as a rising star in Indian cricket.
His impressive all-round skills, including his ability to swing the ball with pace and his batting prowess, made him a standout player in the tournament.
Following his World Cup success, Bawa attracted a lot of attention in the IPL auction and was picked by Punjab Kings in 2022.
However, despite his potential, he only featured in two games during the season, and after a quiet IPL stint, he was released by the franchise post the season.
After a two-year break from the IPL, Bawa is now all set to debut with the Mumbai Indians in the 2025 season, a move that many cricket enthusiasts are excited about.
A legacy of sports
Sports run deep in Bawa’s bloodline.
He is the grandson of Trilochan Singh, an Olympic Gold Medalist in hockey, and his father, Sukhwinder Bawa, is a respected cricket coach in Chandigarh.
Sukhwinder, who gave Raj his first lessons in cricket, has been an instrumental figure in shaping Raj's career.
