Rishav Das

Rishav Kalapkanti Das, born on December 16, 1989, in Guwahati, Assam, is an Indian domestic cricketer who serves as a right-handed opening batsman for Assam. Recognized for his patience at the crease, classical technique against the new ball, and ability to contribute right-arm off-break bowling, he has been a main fixture in Assam's top order for over a decade.

His senior professional career began during the 2013-14 domestic season when he made his first-class debut against Jammu & Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy. Shortly after, he made his List A debut in the Vijay Hazare Trophy In February 2014. Over the years, Rishav earned a reputation as a dependable top-order anchor capable of absorbing pressure and negotiating difficult opening spells.

Rishav has represented both Assam and the East Zone squad in domestic competitions, including the Deodhar Trophy. His red-ball prowess is highlighted by a career-best first-class score of 160, while his white-ball experience has provided stability to Assam’s top order in limited-overs formats. Beyond his run-scoring, his seniority and calm approach under pressure have made him an essential mentor for younger batters coming through the state ranks.

In recent domestic action leading into late 2026, Rishav continued to feature for Assam across formats, including taking part in their international tour fixtures against Namibia and representing the Guwahati Royals in the short format. His long-standing experience and top-order resilience keep him among the most respected senior players in Assam domestic cricket.
