Born on August 7, 2002, Kanika Ahuja is a talented batting all-rounder known for her match-winning abilities. Her impressive performances in domestic cricket earned her a INR 35 lakh deal with Royal Challengers Bangalore at the inaugural TATA WPL auction. She made an impact early, winning Player of the Match in RCB’s first victory with a crucial 46 off 30 balls. After missing WPL 2024 due to injury, Kanika came back strongly in 2025, combining with Richa Ghosh in the opening game to help RCB achieve the highest successful run-chase in WPL history. Known primarily for her batting, Kanika can also contribute with her off-spin, and will now turn up for Gujarat Giants (GG).
