Ankit Ramdas Bawne (born 17 December 1992) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Maharashtra in Indian domestic cricket. A right-handed middle-order batsman with a first-class average of over 50, he has represented India Under-23s and West Zone.

Bawne made his first-class debut only a week after his 15th birthday in 2007 against Karnataka.[1] He won the 'Best Under-15 Cricketer' award at the BCCI Awards in 2009.[2]

Career[edit]

Bawne averaged 60.30 in 2012–13 Ranji Trophy making more than 600 runs including five fifties in succession. He made 58 and 55 against Delhi and an unbeaten 155 against Karnataka.[3] He was selected in the West Zone squad for the 2013–14 Duleep Trophy in which he batted at number 3 and made an unbeaten 115 against South Zone.[4]

Bawne was among the top run-getters in 2013–14 Ranji Trophy with 731 runs at an average of 66.45, helping his team reach the Ranji final for the first time since 1992–93.[5] He scored 84 in the quarterfinal against defending champions Mumbai after Maharashtra were 24 for 3, and helped Maharashtra win the match and knock Mumbai out.[6] He followed it with 89 against Bengal on a spicy pitch in the semifinal.[7] In the final against Karnataka, he scored 89 and 61, becoming one of the few players to score four 50-plus scores in succession in Ranji Trophy knockout stage.[8]

He played for West Zone in the 2014–15 Duleep Trophy and top-scored for his team with 105 against East Zone.[9] In the 2014–15 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Bawne scored 297 runs in 4 matches at an average of 297 and strike rate of 86. His knocks included 102 not out against Baroda, 78 not out against Mumbai and 110 not out against Saurashtra.[10]

Bawne scored 598 runs in the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy. He top-scored with 124 against Saurashtra in an innings victory; as well as 54 and 100 not out against Gujarat.[11] His 100 not out against Vidarbha in the final group match helped Maharashtra win the match and qualify for the knockout stage.[12]

At the 2015–16 Ranji Trophy, Bawne hit 172 in the opening match against Haryana.[13] He also made 60 and 44 against Orissa, 65 against Bengal and 87 not out against defending champions Karnataka.[14]

In the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy he made a 594 run partnership with Swapnil Gugale, the second-highest partnership in first-class cricket and the highest partnership in the history of the Ranji Trophy.[15]

In February 2017, he was bought by the Delhi Daredevils team for the 2017 Indian Premier League for 10 lakhs.[16]

He was the leading run-scorer for Maharashtra in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 328 runs in seven matches.[17] In October 2018, he was named in India A's squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy.[18]

In August 2019, he was named in the India Blue team's squad for the 2019–20 Duleep Trophy.[19][20]

Playing style[edit]

Bawne's technique has been widely praised in domestic circles. Maharashtra coach Surendra Bhave said in 2014, "Look at his front-foot stride. I can't see anyone else who has a front-foot stride as big as that against fast bowlers. Middles everything, bat sounds very sweet, and he gives us solidity, real solidity."[21] He is known for scoring runs in "tricky situations"[22] and as "a go-to man for Maharashtra in times of crises."[23]
