Vicky Ostwal

Royal Challengers Bangalore
Bowler
Slow left-arm orthodox 24 yrs.

Growing up in Lonavala, Vicky Ostwal regularly travelled long distances to pursue better cricketing opportunities, first heading to Mumbai to train at the Vengsarkar Academy before eventually shifting his base to Maharashtra cricket. A left-arm finger spinner, he made daily commutes to Pune, where he continued to develop his game and lay the foundation for his professional career.


He first came into the national spotlight during India’s victorious 2022 Under-19 World Cup campaign, finishing as the team’s leading wicket-taker. The performances fast-tracked him into Maharashtra’s Ranji Trophy setup, where he gradually adapted to the demands of red-ball cricket and began evolving into a more rounded bowler.


A major step forward came in the 2024-25 CK Nayudu Trophy, where Ostwal enjoyed a standout season, finishing with 69 wickets. His consistency and impact were recognised at the BCCI Awards in 2026. As his career has progressed, Ostwal has also worked on his batting, adding value as a lower-order contributor and pushing towards becoming a more complete all-round option.


While opportunities in the playing XI didn’t come during his three seasons with Delhi Capitals in the IPL, he used the experience to learn from senior players and coaches. That growth and potential were rewarded at the IPL auction for the 2026 edition, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured his services.


Although he did not get any playing time, being part of RCB's title-winning campaign in 2026, as they were crowned champions for the second time, would have been a valuable learning experience for Ostwal. Sharing the dressing room with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Virat Kohli, Krunal Pandya and several other established stars gave him an opportunity to learn at the highest level, and he carried that experience into the senior Maharashtra setup.


He took 23 wickets in seven Ranji Trophy matches during the 2025-26 season, including a standout 6/40 against Chandigarh, while also claiming eight wickets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and seven in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He also produced a superb all-round display in the C.K. Nayudu Trophy quarter-final against Jharkhand, taking 4/47 before smashing 141 off 177 balls to help Maharashtra reach the semi-finals.
