Overview
- KKR assistant coach Shane Watson publicly compared Angkrish Raghuvanshi to a young Sanju Samson before the side’s match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, calling his talent rare.
- Watson said the 21-year-old’s skill development is "astonishing" and that his batting already looks advanced for his age.
- In training on a difficult wicket, Watson said Raghuvanshi produced shots that were "ridiculous to watch," reinforcing the view that his ceiling is very high.
- Raghuvanshi has added wicketkeeping this season, with Watson praising how smooth and reliable he has looked behind the stumps.
- Coverage notes a strong start to 2026 followed by a quieter run with a middling strike-rate, and Watson stressed that consistency is the next step after a 2024 title role and a 300-run 2025 as KKR’s No. 2 scorer.
