Rookie raider scores 94 points in his first six games

Rawat, from a village near Haridwar, has not scored under 10 in any match. Coaches say he has an unusual ability to change direction in the lobby.

Rawat grew up in a farming family and began raiding at his school ground with a rope marking the midline. He is only 1.72 m tall, which his coach sees as an advantage: "He gets under hands."
