24 Shivam Mavi

A fierce right-arm fast-medium bowler from Noida, Shivam Mavi (born November 26, 1998) has long been celebrated as one of India’s most resilient young talents. Known for his ability to consistently clock 140+ kmph and his lethal outswingers, Mavi first entered the spotlight as a star of the 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning squad.

As of January 21, 2026, Shivam Mavi is embarking on a significant new chapter. After navigating a series of injury setbacks, he has officially joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the IPL 2026 season, secured for ₹75 Lakh in the December auction. His recent domestic form suggests he is back to his absolute peak, both as a strike bowler and a dangerous lower-order batter.

Maiden First-Class Century

The most striking development in Mavi’s career over the past few months has been his evolution into a genuine all-rounder. In November 2025, playing for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy against Nagaland, Mavi smashed his maiden first-class century. This milestone silenced critics who questioned his batting utility and proved that his time spent in rehab was used to refine his power-hitting.

IPL 2026: The New Spearhead for SRH

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s acquisition of Mavi for ₹75 Lakh is being hailed as one of the “steals” of the 2026 auction. Joining a pace battery led by Pat Cummins, Mavi provides the Orange Army with a domestic speedster who can swing the new ball and deliver hard-length bouncers in the middle overs. With his biomechanical action now corrected to prevent further stress fractures, he is expected to be a primary starter in the SRH XI.

“I never lost focus during my recovery. By correcting my action—specifically preventing the sideways tilt during delivery—I am finally bowling pain-free and faster than ever.” — Shivam Mavi on his 2026 comeback.
