Abhimanyu Rajp Biography

Abhimanyu Rajp is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on March 8, 1986 in Ludhiana, Ludhiana, United States. Abhimanyu Rajp (born 8 March 1986) is an Indian born American cricketer. Rajp is a right-arm off-spin bowler and a right handed batsman. Rajp currently represents the United States national cricket team.

Rajp’s first major test came in the form of the 2006 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka, in which he was promoted to be the vice-captain of the United States Under-19 cricket team due to his performances at the ICC Americas Under-19 Championship and National Under-19 Tournaments. He had a successful World Cup campaign and finished the tournament as one of the leading wicket takers for the US and also landed himself in the top 10 wicket takers for the entire tournament, in number of wickets taken. His most notable performance came against an ICC full-member nation, New Zealand, when he took the first (and the only till date) five-wicket haul for the USA against a full member nation. United States of America Cricket Association’s administration problems soon after the 2006 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup resulted in a two- year ban imposed by cricket’s governing body, International Cricket Council. Rajp’s name slowly faded away on the national circuit and was off the radar for the next few years before making his resurgence in 2010.

Awarding his success at the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, his debut tour for the Senior national team, the selectors picked Rajp as one of the members of the United States national cricket team for the 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four which took place from 3 to 10 September 2012 in Malaysia. The United States national cricket team was successful in gaining promotion to 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division Three to be held in Bermuda from 28 April to 5 May 2013. Rajp, who once again finished as one of the top wicket takers for USA in the Twenty20 however, was not chosen to be a part of that team traveling to Bermuda for Division Three, 50 over format, Following a spree of changes in the USA Squad after the team’s successful triumph in the 2013 ICC World Cricket League Americas Region Twenty20 Division One where USA swept the whole tournament to gain qualification for the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in the UAE. Rajp again finished as one of the top wicket takes for USA in that tournament as well.

Rajp made his debut in 2012 when he was selected as to be a part of the United States national cricket team at the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in the UAE in March 2012. He debuted in style against Italy when he took a wicket with his very first delivery and scored an unbeaten 14 runs off 9 balls in a match that USA lost by 8 runs. Rajp had a very successful debut tournament, finishing at the top in the wickets department for his team and in the top ten on the list of highest wicket takers for the entire tournament (in number of wickets taken). Following his performances with the ball he was also the one of the best fielder in his team, with team high 6 catches, and finished the tournament in the Top Three (in amount of fielding dismissals).

Rajp first represented the United States national cricket team at the ICC Americas Under-19 Championship in 2005 against Canada, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Argentina. Rajp was particularly successful against Bermuda, taking 5 for 7, due to which Bermuda was all out for a rather small target of 87 and USA coasted to victory by eight wickets. The very next day, Rajp took another five-for (5 for 45), against Argentina in a seven-wicket victory before USA registered its final victory of the tour against Cayman Islands to seal a sweep of the tournament and made history by clinching a spot in the 2006 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup for the first time, in Sri Lanka. At that tournament, Rajp became the first American cricketer to become the MVP of any U-19 tournament involving USA. He grabbed the best bowler of the tournament and two man of the match awards.
