We Look At 5 Young Players Who Can Be Potential Superstars:
#5 Arshdeep Singh
He was part of India’s 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning squad. Arshdeep Singh has since taken sincere strides towards the Indian selection dream. He has been Punjab’s standout bowler since 2020. Bowling alongside greats like Mohammad Shami and Kagiso Rabada, Singh has held his own beautifully. He has evolved as a specialist death bowler. Singh can carry forward the legacy of top death bowlers.
#4 Mohsin Khan
Rarely has an Indian left-arm seamer troubled quality batsmen. But here was a bowler, an uncapped one at that who did it consistently right throughout IPL 2022. Mohsin Khan has been unlike any other young Indian bowler. His left-arm angle is an added bonus. He bowls the hard length that cramps the batsmen. None of the batters had answers to his questions. Mohsin Khan if managed well can go on to do wonders in international cricket.
#3 Dewald Brevis
There was immense hype surrounding Dewald Brevis even before he entered the IPL auction. His player of the series exploits in the U-19 World Cup 2022 was enough for people to call him baby AB. Brevis has been worth the hype. He looked at ease against both pace and spin. Brevis surely looks ready to take on the world.
#2 Umran Malik
He is India’s new poster boy in pace bowling. Umran Malik did generate excitement last season wherein he featured for a couple of games. But it was this season where he really came into his own. Malik cranked it up big time this year. He clocked speeds of 157 kilometers per hour. Malik has been inducted into the Indian squad. The team management has its eyes set on Malik. He can unleash himself if he handles himself and keeps evolving.
#1 Tilak Varma
Rohit Sharma is arguably one of the top three cricketers in the world. For him to predict that Tilak Varma will be an all-format player is a big sign of confidence. Varma walked amidst expectations in his debut IPL season. But the youngster had a dream debut. He was MI’s biggest hope amidst a forgettable season. Varma needs to keep doing the right thing. An India cap isn’t far away for this stylish southpaw who has so much going for him.
