Pratika Rawal

Personal background and education

ESPNcricinfo records Pratika Rawal’s birth on 1 September 2000 and describes a sporting route that began with cricket around age ten. She reached Delhi Under-19s at 14, played basketball at national level and won a School National Games gold in January 2019 before choosing cricket. She completed a Bachelor’s in psychology. Question: When was Pratika Rawal born? Answer: The retrieved ESPNcricinfo profile records 1 September 2000. The reviewed sources do not establish a village or private family profile, so those topics are not added.

Development (undated period: Age 14): Delhi Under-19 debut. Reached Delhi Under-19s at 14, according to a reported ESPNcricinfo feature.

Professional journey from Delhi to India

Rawal’s documented route runs through Delhi age-group cricket, Delhi senior cricket and Railways from the 2024-25 season. Her fifth List A appearance for Delhi produced an unbeaten 161 against Assam in November 2021. She made her India ODI debut against West Indies on 22 December 2024, then appeared in Tests and T20Is in 2026. The ESPNcricinfo feature says she was not picked at the WPL auction before the 2025 season; that is selection context, not proof that she has never been associated with a franchise. Question: Was Pratika Rawal picked in the 2025 WPL auction? Answer: The reviewed April 2025 report says she was not picked at that auction.

Playing career and ODI rise

Her early India career was built in the 50-over game. ESPNcricinfo reported 444 runs in her first six women’s ODIs, while the 2025 World Cup sources record a 122 against New Zealand and 308 runs in six innings before her injury. The ESPNcricinfo career table retrieved on 8 November 2026 lists 1,350 ODI runs and a highest score of 154. Question: What is Pratika Rawal’s highest score? Answer: The retrieved ESPNcricinfo career table lists 154 as her highest Women’s ODI score. These figures are dated page snapshots, not live totals.

Calm technique and controlled acceleration

ESPNcricinfo’s reported description centres on crisp footwork, clean strokes, disciplined defence and an uncluttered mind. That profile fits a top-order batter who can absorb the new-ball phase before accelerating, rather than a player defined only by power. Her right-arm off-break is listed by the ICC and ESPNcricinfo as a secondary skill. The tactical reading here is SportsHub4U analysis, while the technical descriptors are source-backed.

World Cup injury and return

Rawal’s clearest public setback came at the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. ICC and Olympics.com report that she twisted her ankle and hurt her knee while fielding against Bangladesh on a wet outfield, ending her tournament after a strong run of 308 runs in six innings. BCCI later reported completed rehabilitation and a return to India’s Australia ODI squad on 17 February 2026. Question: What was Pratika Rawal’s injury update? Answer: BCCI said on 17 February 2026 that she had completed rehabilitation and fully recovered from the October ankle injury; the statement is a dated team-selection update, not a promise about every later match.

Current status, not a post-playing career

Rawal remains an active India international in the ESPNcricinfo record retrieved on 8 November 2026, which lists ODI, Test and T20I appearances through October 2026. A post-playing career therefore does not apply. The reviewed sources do not establish a coaching, administrative or charitable role, and this dossier does not turn education or media coverage into a future-career claim.

Public ventures and financial claims

The reviewed source set documents Rawal’s sporting teams, education and public cricket reporting, but it does not establish a company, foundation, endorsement contract, salary or net-worth figure. No public venture is asserted. Excluding an unsupported net-worth estimate is deliberate: a search query is not evidence of income or ownership.
