CSK finished bottom of the IPL 2025 points table
Ramakrishna Ghosh was among the top performers for Puneri Bappa in the Maharashtra Premier League T20 2024 with his exciting batting performances following his promotion from No.8 to opening the innings.
After registering scores of 12 and 2 in the lower middle-order, he blasted 52 off 33 balls in the first match he was promoted as an opener. He followed it up with scores of 35 off 35 balls and then 17 off 13 balls.
He was also a handy medium-pacer in the league which helped his comeback into the state team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 where he got four matches.
Things kept going well for him in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 when he was asked to bat at No.3 against Odisha and made 80 while also claiming 3-50 with the ball in the first innings. He also claimed a wicket and scored 39 runs in the second innings.
In the next match against Baroda, Ghosh claimed four wickets and was unlucky to miss his maiden first-class century after being dismissed on 99.
However, his performances got the attention of Maharashtra, Chennai Super Kings and Puneri Bappa captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ghosh was roped in for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season for INR 30 lakh in the November auction.
