UPL T20 2025: As the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2025 begins on September 27th, one young player in particular is catching the eye of cricket fans and IPL scouts alike: Sanskar Rawat. The 20-year-old opening batsman for Dehradun Warriors is poised for a breakout season after an impressive showing in the inaugural UPL season.
Sanskar Rawat’s Brilliance
In 2024, Rawat was a force to be reckoned with. Across four innings, he scored 191 runs at a superb average of 47.75, with a blistering strike rate of 164.66. His performances included two half-centuries, one of which was a dominant 80 off 41 balls and another 73 off 51 balls. These innings showcased his ability to find boundaries and clear the ropes, hitting 16 fours and 13 sixes in the tournament. With his aggressive strokeplay and ability to pace an innings, Rawat was a key contributor to Dehradun Warriors’ success last season.
Boundaries, brilliance, and a batting blitz!

Eyes on IPL
Rawat’s form caught the attention of selectors, and after shining in UPL, he earned a place in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Uttarakhand. As the IPL 2026 auction draws closer, the aggressive opening batsman is a player to watch, with several franchises likely to keep a close eye on his progress in UPL 2025.
Rawat’s role in Dehradun Warriors
For Dehradun Warriors, Rawat’s role as an explosive opener is critical. His ability to get quick runs at the top of the order not only gives his team a solid start but also allows the middle order to come in with a strong foundation. If he continues his remarkable form from last season, Rawat could play a vital role in Dehradun’s success this year.
As UPL 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on Sanskar Rawat to see if he can elevate his game and make a strong case for an IPL contract in 2026.
