Chirag (Oliver) Tewatiya is a dynamic and explosive batting all-rounder blazing a trail in New Zealand cricket. Representing Wellington U19, Wellington Premier Cricket, and Wellington A, he has already carved out an impressive four-year journey in national age-group cricket—two years with Wellington U17s and two with Wellington U19s.
In 2023, Oliver’s sensational performances turned heads nationwide. With a blistering strike rate of 141 and an astounding average of 59, he ranked among the top five run-scorers and the top 10 wicket-takers in the national tournament, propelling Wellington to a runner-up finish. His dominance earned him a spot in the U19 East Asia Qualifiers, where he continued to shine, finishing among the Top 10 run-scorers with a strike rate of 106 and an average of 42.
That same season, Oliver was crowned Wellington U17 MVP and earned selection for both Wellington U19 and the New Zealand U19 team, competing on the grand stage of the ICC U19 World Cup. His remarkable all-round abilities also played a crucial role in his club's triumph in the Premier 2-Day title, Wellington's top club-grade competition.
Elevating his career further, Oliver joined Wellington A for the 2024-25 season and took on the mantle of vice-captain for Wellington U19. With the 2025 U19 National Tournament on the horizon, this rising star is preparing for new challenges and opportunities overseas to refine his craft and take his game to the next level.
Driven by an unrelenting desire to secure a domestic contract, Oliver is on a mission to transform his dream of becoming a professional cricketer into reality—a journey that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
