Amit Rawat’s journey from a small Mediterranean island to the global cricket arena is as extraordinary as it is inspiring. Born in Malta on 19th October 1986, Amit discovered cricket in the narrow winding alleys of Valletta, where his talent for the game became apparent at a tender age. Despite Malta not being a cricketing hub, Amit was captivated by the sport, spending countless hours honing his skills. His dedication paid off when he made his way into local clubs, quickly moving through the ranks with his determination and natural flair for the game.

Amit's career took a professional turn when he debuted for Malta's national team as a promising allrounder. His ability to deliver with both bat and ball soon caught the eye of talent scouts beyond the island's shores. He established himself as a force to be reckoned with, particularly for his unique left-hand batting style and left-arm fast-medium bowling, which left many batsmen struggling. His graceful batting, characterised by exquisite timing and powerful strokes, often turned matches in his team's favour. Meanwhile, his bowling, with its deceptive pace and movement off the seam, consistently claimed crucial wickets.

Throughout his career, Amit has been celebrated for his remarkable contributions to several championships, leading his team to unprecedented heights. Among his remarkable achievements, one that stands out is his crucial role in Malta's surprise victory at the European T20 Championship, where his allround performance was instrumental in clinching the title.

Amit's cricketing journey has been shaped by many unforgettable matches and fierce rivalries, particularly against neighbouring teams where intense battles on the field usually ended with him being the deciding factor. His match-winning innings against Gibraltar in 2017, where he scored a swashbuckling 90 not out and took three pivotal wickets, remains etched in Maltese cricket folklore.

Despite the challengers and the pressures of international cricket, Amit Rawat's impact on the game is profound. He has not only elevated Malta's cricketing status but also inspired countless young players embarking on their journey from cricket's like lesser-known outposts. His legacy is one of perseverance and passion, a testament to his character and commitment to the sport.
