In IPL 2026, Mayank Rawat played against the Punjab Kings for the first time as IPL 2026 started. As a young all-rounder representing his home state of Delhi, Mayank is able to play both right-handed batting and off-break bowling. He has become a key contributor in limited overs cricket as a dual-functioning player, contributing equally with both bat and ball.
He made effective use of the opportunities he received in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Delhi Premier League, following which he was acquired by the Mumbai Indians for ₹30 lakh in the IPL 2026 Auction. He also made his IPL debut on April 16, 2026, against the Punjab Kings.

Early Career and Delhi Cricket
Mayank Rawat gained experience by playing within Delhi’s domestic cricket structure from a very young age. He was also a part of the Delhi Under-19 team and later received the opportunity to play for Delhi at the senior level. He made his First-Class cricket debut during the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, although he received limited opportunities in that format.
Domestic T20 Career and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
As a player who had previously played very little domestic T20 cricket, Mayank Rawat had a lot of chances in T20 cricket in domestic competitions.
Throughout the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Mayank helped his team by getting important wickets with his off-break bowling and coming through with some valuable lower-order runs (useful cameos) when batting down the order to lead the team through tight finishes.
Given Mayank’s low economy and high strike rate when batting, he can be viewed as one of the best all-rounders available in the T20 game today.
