IPL 2025 AUCTION: Young Ankrish Raghuvanshi would be in the minds of a number of IPL franchises after his promising show for KKR. With the auction less than a week to go, speculations are rife over a number of players over who will place a bid for them. Raghuvanshi, given his age and ability, would be on the radar of a number of teams, but is he going to join Virat Kohli at RCB? The 19-year-old batting prodigy was recently spotted at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) trials, and that is exactly what has started the rumours. If added, Raghuvanshi could be a long-term investment for the franchise. Raghuvanshi shot to limelight after his brilliant show in the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2022, where he emerged as India’s highest run-getter and played a crucial role in securing the championship.  

THE PROOF

Raghuvanshi had an impressive season for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024 where he scored 163 runs in 10 matches. He batted at No. 3 and was brisk and aggressive in his approach. Raghuvanshi would be a great addition to the RCB unit as it will bolster their batting, something that has let them down time and again. What will also lure RCB towards Raghuvanshi is his price.
