A Historic Milestone Awaits! Raghu Raghavendra: The Unsung Hero of Indian Cricket Support staff plays a crucial role in a team’s success, and Raghu Raghavendra is a key figure behind India's batting preparations. A throwdown specialist since 2011, he helps Indian batters train against express pace, often exceeding 150 km/h. Hailing from Kumta, Karnataka, Raghu initially pursued cricket but later shifted to coaching. He worked with KSCA and Karnataka Ranji before joining the BCCI in 2008. His expertise in high-speed throwdowns has made training sessions more intense and match-focused. In 2023, after an impressive ODI series against Sri Lanka, Virat Kohli credited Raghu and other specialists for preparing them against fast bowling. Despite working behind the scenes, Raghu remains one of the most underrated pillars of Indian cricket.
