ctive on handling pressure in competitive sport. Her cricketing journey began at the age of ten, guided by her father Pradeep Rawal, a BCCI-certified umpire, who first introduced her to the game.

She progressed steadily through age-group cricket and made her senior domestic debut for Delhi in 2021. Over the next few seasons, she grew into one of Delhi’s most dependable performers and even captained the Under-23 side to the final of the T20 Trophy. Ahead of the 2024 season, she shifted to Railways, a move that coincided with a call-up to the Indian squad later that year for the ODI series against the West Indies.

Rawal adapted to the international stage with remarkable ease, but her true breakthrough arrived against Ireland in early 2025 when she struck 154 off 129 balls in a record 233-run opening partnership with Smriti Mandhana. Breaking into India’s top order is never easy, especially with the presence of Shafali Verma, but Rawal’s early performances ensured she carved out her place. While her returns in the England series were modest, she earned praise for her temperament and composure. Coupled with her handy off-spin, those qualities helped her secure a place in India’s squad for the 2025 ODI World Cup at home.
