Career Highlights
Key numbers
Tek Rawat (also listed in official NPL auction records as Tek Bahadur Rawat) has not yet earned an international cap for Nepal, and his public profile is built almost entirely on domestic and franchise cricket — which is exactly where most of the search interest around his name comes from. This profile brings together everything currently known about him: his role, his NPL team history, his auction record, and honest answers on the details — like salary and net worth — that aren't publicly available.
Player Profile
Cricket Career
Playing Style
Tek Rawat is a specialist wicketkeeper who bats right-handed, typically in the middle-to-lower order behind Sudurpaschim's more established gloveman options. Public match logs from ESPNcricinfo show him regularly keeping wicket and contributing useful, if modest, batting cameos in Nepal's domestic one-day competitions, such as the Provincial ODI tournaments involving Sudurpaschim Province.
He does not bowl, which is standard for a specialist keeper, and his primary value to his teams is behind the stumps. In NPL squad depth charts, he has generally featured as backup or rotation wicketkeeper competition to more senior options like Binod Bhandari and Dipak Bohara at Sudurpaschim Royals, rather than as an automatic starter.
Early Career
Public biographical detail on Tek Rawat's early or age-group career is limited. He is not listed among Nepal's prominent U-19 cricketers in major databases, and his rise appears to be through provincial domestic cricket in Sudurpaschim Province rather than the national junior pathway.
Domestic Career
Tek Rawat plays domestic cricket for Sudurpaschim Province, featuring as wicketkeeper in tournaments such as the Provincial one-day competition. ESPNcricinfo's recent match logs show him keeping wicket regularly for Sudurpaschim in matches against Madhesh, Koshi, Lumbini, Nepal Police Club, and Bagmati provinces during the March 2025 domestic season, with knocks including a 45 against Bagmati and several dismissals (catches and stumpings) behind the stumps.
International Career
As of July 2026, Tek Rawat has not made his debut for the Nepal senior national team in any format (ODI, T20I, or Test). FanCode's official profile lists no debut or match data for him across ODI, T20I, Test, or franchise-international formats. He remains, at this stage, a domestic and franchise-level cricketer rather than an international one.
Franchise Career (Nepal Premier League)
Tek Rawat's highest-profile cricket has come through the Nepal Premier League, where he has represented Sudurpaschim Royals. He was signed into the Royals squad via the NPL auction ahead of the 2025 (Season 2) tournament for a base-category fee, and continued with the franchise through the 2026 auction process as well.
Sudurpaschim Royals reached the final of both the 2024 and 2025 seasons, finishing runners-up on both occasions, though public data does not confirm Tek Rawat featured prominently in the playing XI during the Royals' deep tournament runs — he appears to have operated mainly as a squad and backup wicketkeeping option behind Binod Bhandari and other established glove options.
Captaincy Record
There is no publicly recorded leadership role (captaincy or vice-captaincy) associated with Tek Rawat at any level.
