We all know about the all-stars of Indian crickets and how they won numerous trophies. But let’s not live in the past. Let’s look at what the future holds for India’s cricket. Here, we will look at some rising stars and emerging talents. Keep in mind that these are only players that have shown some potential. No one can guarantee them that they are going to be future all-stars.
Umran Malik
Umran Malik is a 22-year-old from Jammu. He has already managed to make heads turn in his direction. Sunrises Hyderabad drafted him after playing for the United Arab Emirates as a net bowler. He has become the most consistent performer for Sunrisers, and he did that by clocking 150kmph consistently. He debuted with India A in South Africa this year and claimed seven wickets. By doing 150kmph always, he has taken the Indian Premier League by storm and become a top prospect in India.
Kuldeep Sen
Kuldeep Sen has proved he is one of the top prospects in India’s cricket. He did that on his IPL debut by defending 14 runs in the last over in the match versus Lucknow Super Giants. He has also managed to avoid Stoinis’ reach and ensured the Australian all-rounder couldn’t get the ball. In 16 matches, he managed to get 44 wickets and four List-A scalps. He is still new and raw but could be one of the greats.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is one of the two retained players that played at Punjabi Kings before IPL 2022. And it was a good reason. In the 2021 IPL, Arshdeep Singh took 18 wickets from only 12 outings. Arshdeep still hasn’t developed an express pace, but he can bowl full, and the stumps between 16-20 make him one of the best Indian prospects.
Kartik Tyagi
One of the best fast bowlers and former West Indies player Ian Bishop has rated Tyagi as one of the top prospects. Bishop said Tyagi could be a powerful addition to India’s fast-bowling bench. Tyagi is a player who has a lot of paces when swinging a ball and has an overly aggressive streak to his bowling. One of Tyagi’s most memorable plays was delivering a sensational final against Punjabi Kings.
Mukesh Choudhary
After the injury of Deepak Chadar in the last year of IPL, Mukesh Choudhary came into the spotlight. His ability to swing a new ball is out of this world. Once, he took out Rohit Sharma and Inshan Kishan in the same over. He is the top prospect and might have a bright future in cricket.
Kamlesh Nagarkoti
Kamlesh Nagarkoti played in the under-19 World Cup in 2018; after that, he was one of the most talked about players. He is a brilliant fielder, a fast bowler, and has a capable bat. He was all around great player until he had an injury. We can say that if he manages to stay fit, he has a very bright future ahead of him.
Closing Thoughts
Now you know about potential future stars and who to look for. We hope that all the players from this list become stars in the sports. And if they keep playing as they do now, we are sure that the future of India’s cricket will be bright and full of trophies.
