Raghavendra Dwivedi, popularly known as Raghu, is an integral member of Team India’s support staff. Serving as the team’s throwdown specialist, he plays a key role in refining the batting department’s skills. Interestingly, he was personally selected by Sachin Tendulkar in 2011.
Raghu’s primary responsibility is to deliver precise throwdowns, replicating real match scenarios by simulating deliveries from pacers, spinners, and short-pitched balls. His expertise helps Indian batters prepare for various challenges and conditions, improving their adaptability and significantly contributing to the team’s overall success.
