char *str="saurabh";

You cannot manipulate "saurabh" because it is literal.

For this you should either copy it to char[],

Example,

char arr[20];
char *ptr = "Data";

strcpy(arr,ptr);

I know that you likely need to implement yourself reverse, but you can use std implementation for tests:

std::string s("abc");
std::reverse(s.begin(), s.end());
