Rawat scored 55 runs in just 35 balls, including five fours and two sixes. 58.18% of his total runs came via boundaries, and the southpaw amassed 31.79% of the team’s runs alone.

When he came to the crease, East Delhi Riders were 42/2 in 6.2 overs. They required a partnership to remain on track during the chase. Rawat formed a crucial 49-run stand with Hardik Sharma for the third wicket to keep the required rate within grasp throughout the innings.

Later, he departed on the fifth delivery of the 19th over but ensured the Riders were in a decent position, and the team eventually won the game on the final ball in a thrilling finish. Rawat ended the game as the highest run-scorer and won the Player of the Match award for his useful contributions.

Anuj Rawat might get retained by Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2026 auction

Gujarat Titans bought Anuj Rawat for INR 30 lakh ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, but didn’t give him any game. He warmed the bench throughout the season because they had Jos Buttler, who batted at No.3 and kept the wickets in the league stage.

ALSO READ:

When Buttler left the camp in the knockout phase due to international commitments, GT roped in Kusal Mendis as a temporary replacement but didn’t try Rawat. However, they might still retain him ahead of the next auction, given he is an Indian wicketkeeper-batter who is not costing a big sum.

His best comes at the top, where he can take a few balls before exploding, but GT’s top order has no room for any other batter. GT can’t retain Mendis and will be left with only a few options in the wicketkeeping department, so they should keep Rawat.

He can improve as a power hitter by working on his game in the local T20 tournaments and playing for his domestic side. It will open a spot for him in the XI. GT were often short on batting depth last season, and Rawat can fill that place if his power game evolves.
