Anuj Rawat brings pride to his family after winning the man-of-the-match award after RCB’s win against the Mumbai Indians.
Anuj Rawat's family resides in Ruppur Village (Narayanpur Muliya) Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, where Virender Pal Singh, the cricketer’s father, has run his farm for years to feed the family. The middle-class family man never intended for Anuj to walk in his footsteps because of their struggles, which disappeared after the left-handed batter entered the IPL.
As per Anuj Rawat latest news, the RCB batsman exhibited an outstanding performance in the 18th match of the IPL against the Mumbai Indians and was honoured with the title of the man-of-the-match with his 66-run score, made with 2/3rd of boundaries, i.e., six sixes and two fours in 47 balls on April 9th, 2022.
The cricketer’s family hooted for him throughout the match without missing any of the IPL matches as reported by Virender Pal Singh and his wife Asha Rawat, a housewife. Surprisingly, Anuj stayed with his brother Prashant and sister-in-law Ranajan in Delhi, and they didn't miss watching a single ball in the match.
"I watch every match whether it be domestic or IPL — this was a great knock by him. The best part about his innings was that it led to a win. Virat bhai and he built a really important partnership when it was needed," said the brother over the phone.

As the brother signs off his interview, he narrates the struggles in their lives as they grew up. According to Prashant, the two separated from their parents for the first time, which was a drastic experience for them as maintaining a balance between work and study wasn't easy. However, the family’s hardship came to an end as Anuj got selected for the first season of the IPL. The 10 years' worth of hard work put in by the family saw a great outcome.
