Before joining <\/span><b>Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Aniket had no senior-level experience but was picked up for <\/span><b>INR 30 lakh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the IPL auction. Known for his aggressive batting, he first gained attention with a stunning <\/span><b>101 off 75 balls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the Under-23 one-day tournament for Madhya Pradesh in December 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His performances in domestic cricket showcased his power-hitting skills.
