Meet cricketer who replaced Rohit Sharma, related to Olympics gold medallist, father is Yuvraj Singh’s coach, his name is…

Today, we will know about the youngster who came in place of Rohit Sharma during the Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians match in IPL 2025. Shockingly, his grandfather was an Olympic gold medalist, and his father coached Yuvraj Singh.

Mumbai Indians made a massive change in their playing eleven, as Rohit Sharma was not available to play in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 4. He was absent from the match due to a knee injury.

In the place of Rohit Sharma, Raj Angad Bawa was taken in the team. Raj is a young all-rounder, and made his debut for Mumbai Indians in that match. He is 22 years old and is known for his unique skills.

Raj Angad Bawa comes from a family with a deep connection to sports. His father is a well-known coach, and it is believed that he was also the first person to recognize the potential in Yuvraj Singh and led him in his journey. His grandfather Tarlochan Bawa won an Olympic gold medal in hockey.

Raj makes significant contributions in both the batting and bowling as he is a left-handed batter and a right-arm medium pacer. His IPL career began with Punjab Kings in 2022, though he was not given a chance to play that year.

Raj gained recognition during 2022 U-10 World Cup, as he played a key role in the final against Australia. He secured a fifer, along with scoring 35 important runs, which was of a great help in India securing the fifth U-19 World Cup title.
