The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured leg-spinning allrounder, age 23 Prema Rawat from Uttarakhand for INR 1.2 crore, recognizing her exceptional performances for the Uttarakhand team in T20s. Hailing from the small village of Sumti in Bageshwar, Uttarakhand, Rawat has been a consistent presence in the state team and is now based in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh although she plays cricket for the women’s cricket team. She emerged as the leading wicket-taker in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy 2023, claiming 16 wickets in 10 matches with an impressive economy rate of 5.55.
Rawat’s cricketing journey began like many Indian women cricketers—playing with boys in her locality. Now based in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, she credits her brother, Hemant, and father, Vimal Rawat, for laying the foundation of her game by practicing with her during her early years. Over time, she cemented her place in the Uttarakhand women’s side and showcased her talent further in the inaugural Uttarakhand Women’s T20 League, contributing 38 runs and four wickets.
With a purse of ₹3.25 crore and four slots to fill, RCB made strategic moves in the WPL 2025 mini-auction, securing promising domestic talents Joshitha VJ, Raghvi Bist, and Jagravi Pawar for ₹10 lakh each. These players, along with Rawat, were chosen for their versatility and potential to adapt to varying match scenarios. RCB’s auction strategy reflects their commitment to bold and fearless cricket, a philosophy that led them to their triumphant title-winning campaign in 2024.
Rowdy Rawat! 🔥
