Anukul Roy: The SMAT 2025 Player of the Tournament
A Historic Domestic Campaign
Anukul Roy’s 2025-26 season has been nothing short of historic. He was officially named the Player of the Tournament for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025, where he amassed 303 runs at a staggering strike rate of 160.31 and claimed 18 wickets. His performance in the final against Haryana was a masterclass in “clutch” cricket, where he smashed an unbeaten 40 off 20 balls and took two critical wickets to secure Jharkhand’s maiden T20 title.
IPL Evolution: From Prospect to Champion
-
Mumbai Indians (2018-2021): Spotted early by the MI scouts, Anukul spent four seasons honing his craft alongside legends like Ravindra Jadeja (his idol) and Rohit Sharma.
-
Kolkata Knight Riders (2022-Present): Since joining KKR, he has evolved into a tactical “X-factor” capable of bowling tight powerplay overs and providing explosive lower-order cameos. He was a member of KKR’s 2024 IPL championship-winning squad and is now considered a potential successor to the national team’s spin-bowling all-rounder slot.
