Player Profile
Arjun Rathore has trained at Vardaan Cricket Academy for four seasons, developing into the squad's leading strike bowler in age-group cricket. His stock delivery is a skiddy length ball at pace, backed by a well-disguised slower ball and an away-swinger that has troubled top-order batters through the 2025–26 season.
Coaches rate his temperament in pressure overs highly — three of his five best bowling figures have come in the final ten overs of an innings. He is being put forward for district and state-level trials this season.
