Raj Bawa Biography

Rajangad "Raj" Bawa is an Indian cricketer from Nahan, Himachal Pradesh, who bats left-handed and bowls right-arm/left-arm fast-medium. He rose to wider注意?

Early life and background
Rajangad Bawa, commonly known as Raj Bawa, was born on 12 November 2004 in Nahan, Himachal Pradesh. He grew up with strong sporting influences: his father, Sukhwinder Singh Bawa, is a cricket coach and his grandfather, Tarlochan Singh Bawa, was a member of India’s 1948 Olympic hockey team. Raj spent much of his childhood in Chandigarh and attended DAV Public School there. As a youngster he enjoyed dance and theatre before focusing on cricket; a visit to the Dharamshala stadium with his father helped spark his interest in the game.

Career
Raj Bawa developed as a cricketer under the guidance of his father, who recognized his natural pace early on. He first attracted attention when, at age eleven, he took five wickets in his debut match at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Gurugram. Bawa bowls with his right arm and bats left-handed; he has said that he adjusted his batting stance after watching Yuvraj Singh, a player he admires.

Bawa has represented Chandigarh at the domestic level. He made his One Day International debut for India on 2 December 2021 against Bangladesh in Kolkata, wearing jersey number 12 for India. In the Under-19 arena he produced standout performances during the 2022 U19 Cricket World Cup, including a match against Uganda in which he scored 162 runs from 108 balls. That innings became the highest individual score by an Indian batter in U19 World Cup history, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan’s long-standing mark from 2004. In the same tournament he also recorded a four-wicket haul against South Africa in India’s opening match.

Public profile
Physically, Raj Bawa is listed at approximately 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) with black hair and black eyes. Approximate body measurements provided include a 40-inch chest, 30-inch waist and 14-inch biceps. He wears jersey number 12, a number he has said carries personal meaning: it connects to his admiration for Yuvraj Singh and family dates he commemorates. He cites Yuvraj as his favourite cricketer.

Family and influences
Cricket runs in Bawa’s family. His father Sukhwinder transitioned to coaching after a playing career that included selection for an India U-19 camp; he later coached several notable players. Raj has spoken about stories of his grandfather’s Olympic success, passed down to him by his family. His mother’s name is not listed in the available information. Raj is unmarried.

Latest updates
Raj Bawa’s most widely reported recent achievement is his record-setting 162 in the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago, a performance that drew attention from the Board of Control for Cricket in India. As of 2024 he is twenty years old and continues to be associated with Chandigarh in domestic cricket.

Other notes
Bawa lists travelling and partying among his hobbies. He idolizes Yuvraj Singh and has mirrored aspects of his game and jersey number. Although he bowls with his right arm, some descriptions have referred to him as a left-arm fast-medium bowler; the licensed information indicates his bowling and batting styles and highlights both his wicket-taking and his batting contributions at the junior international level.
