Mayank Rawat

Mayank Rawat is a dynamic all-rounder from Delhi who was signed by Mumbai Indians for ₹30 lakh at the IPL 2026 auction. A product of the Delhi domestic circuit, Rawat is an aggressive right-handed batter and a deceptive right-arm off-spinner. He became a household name during the inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL) in 2024, where he played a titular role in the East Delhi Riders' championship win. His most legendary exploit remains the final against South Delhi Superstarz, where he smashed an unbeaten 78 off 39 balls, including five consecutive sixes off Ayush Badoni in the final over to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Entering the 2026 season, Rawat’s stock has continued to rise following a 'power-packed' performance in the 2026 DY Patil T20 Cup. Representing Reliance, he blazed 63 runs off 32 balls against a star-studded BPCL side, once again hitting four sixes in a single over. Known for his 'clutch' temperament, Rawat finished the 2025 DPL season with nearly 200 runs at a strike rate of 151.56 and contributed 8 wickets with an impressive economy of 7.13. His ability to provide quick-fire momentum in the lower-middle order and chip in with crucial breakthroughs makes him a quintessential 'MI-style' utility player, ready to make his mark at the Wankhede.
