Raghuvanshi's journey to cricketing stardom began when he relocated from Gurgaon to Mumbai at the age of 11, driven by his passion for the sport. His standout performance at the 2022 U-19 World Cup, where he amassed 278 runs, played a pivotal role in securing the championship title for his team under the leadership of Yash Dhull.
Making his List A and T20 debut for Mumbai in 2023, Raghuvanshi left a lasting impression, particularly in the CK Nayudu Trophy, where he amassed an impressive 765 runs in just 9 matches.
