Rushil Ugarkar

Rushil Jayraj Ugarkar is an American cricketer who plays for MI New York in Major League Cricket. Born in Missouri, Ugarkar moved to India with his family and attended Ebenezer International School in Bengaluru. It was there that he picked up cricket and began attending NCA training sessions alongside fellow student Sanjay Krishnamurthi. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, Krishnamurthi and he both moved back to the U.S., aiming to play for the national team.
In the U.S., Ugarkar had a brief stint with Minor League Cricket's Silicon Valley Strikers in 2021, before his selection by the Dallas Mustangs for the 2023 season. His performance during the tournament earned him a spot as a U21 player on MI New York's squad in 2024. Retained for the 2025 season, Ugarkar–inspired by Rohit Sharma–took a bigger role in the team as he began to bowl quicker and take wickets.
