Apoorv Wankhade is a dynamic top-order batter with a decorated career in Indian domestic and UK league cricket. A key figure in Vidarbha’s historic 2017/18 Ranji Trophy triumph, he also represented Central Zone and featured in the IPL with both the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Since debuting in 2012/13, Wankhade has made several impactful comebacks. Most notably, he struck two centuries and 453 runs at 50.33 during Vidarbha’s title-winning Ranji campaign. Despite sporadic opportunities in first-class cricket post-COVID, he impressed with a 60.50 average in the 2022 season.

Overseas, Wankhade has been one of the most dominant performers in UK club cricket. Across stints with Lindfield (Sussex), Flitwick (Hertfordshire), and Dulwich (Surrey), he amassed nearly 6,000 runs with 18 centuries and contributed over 100 wickets—bowling both seam and off-spin.

In 2024, he played a crucial role in Dulwich’s promotion to the Surrey Championship Premier Division and was set to return for a third season in 2025. However, due to a lack of recent first-class appearances, he no longer qualifies under ECB rules. Instead, he joined Dutch club VVV in 2025 while targeting a first-class comeback in India, with hopes of securing a UK return in 2026.

A proven match-winner with the bat and a genuine all-round option, Wankhade remains a high-value signing for clubs seeking experience, versatility, and impact.
