I'd Never Say No To The Team,' Says KKR's Raghuvanshi On His Transformation To Wicketkeeper
When Angkrish Raghuvanshi: When Angkrish Raghuvanshi whipped off the bails in a flash to stump Pathum Nissanka off the bowling of Anukul Roy, Delhi Capitals' last realistic hope of resisting Kolkata Knight Riders evaporated at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on the night of May 8. It was a stumping only a wicketkeeper with years of experience could execute.
The small irony, here, is that, until September last year, Angkrish was not one. Behind Angkrish’s transformation as a keeper for KKR in IPL 2026 was a project planned by Abhishek Nayar, his long-time mentor and the side’s head coach and executed by fielding coach Dishant Yagnik.
"What motivated me was my team asked me if I could do a job for them and I'd never say no to that. But it was very tough at the start because I've never done it before and I didn't believe that I could do it. But our fielding coach, Dishant Yagnik, made me work tirelessly throughout the day and night.
