Bowling All-Rounder
Bowling all-rounder signed by Janakpur Bolts for NPR 5 lakh after two seasons with Chitwan Rhinos.
Amar Singh Rautela is a Nepali bowling all-rounder (right-hand bat, right-arm medium) born September 5, 1993, in Nepalgunj. He played for Chitwan Rhinos in NPL 2024 and 2025 before being signed by Janakpur Bolts for NPR 5 lakh at the July 2026 auction.
Career Highlights
Key numbers
Ahead of the 2026 season, he wasn't part of Chitwan's retained core, went back into the auction pool, and was picked up by Janakpur Bolts — a move that puts him alongside a franchise rebuilding after releasing marquee man Aasif Sheikh. Outside the NPL, he plays his domestic cricket for the Armed Police Force (APF) Club.
Player Profile
Cricket Career
Playing Style
Rautela is used as a lower-middle-order batter who can also share the bowling load with right-arm medium pace. His NPL appearances have generally come as a finishing-order option rather than a top-order fixture — his recent Chitwan Rhinos outings show short, situational innings (an unbeaten 3, an unbeaten 1, a 9) rather than long stays at the crease, consistent with a role focused on quick runs late in an innings. As a bowler, he's been given a limited, containing role — for example, figures of 1/19 in a group match against Janakpur Bolts in December 2025.
Early Career
Rautela made his name in Nepal's domestic structure playing for the Armed Police Force (APF) Club, one of the country's traditional club sides, before entering the NPL franchise system.
Domestic Career
He continues to represent the Armed Police Force (APF) Club domestically, including in tournaments organised by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), such as the PM Cup.
International Career
N/A — he has not represented the Nepal national team at senior level.
Franchise Career (Nepal Premier League)
Rautela made his NPL debut with Chitwan Rhinos in the league's inaugural 2024 season and continued with the franchise (wearing squad number 81) through the 2025 season.
