India Upcoming Cricketers: In IPL 2022, all eyes are going to be on these young players of India, let's know about these cricketers.
Players like Virat, Rohit Bumrah and Ashwin will all be expected to do well this year, but players like Venkatesh Iyer and Rituraj Gaikwad can also do wonders this year. Last year all these players showed their talent and this year all these players can show their flair at the international level. Here we are going to tell about five such players, who can make their name in 2022.
1. Rituraj Gaikwad
India's young player Rituraj Gaikwad presented his claim for Team India in 2021, batting amazingly. Rituraj has been included in the Indian team for the ODI series against Africa in 2022. He is sure to get more opportunities in the coming time. Last year in the IPL, he won the Orange Cap by scoring 635 runs. After this, he also batted amazingly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. Rituraj became the fourth batsman to have scored four centuries in a season in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
2. Venkatesh Iyer
Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer also
impressed everyone with his performance in 2021 and also made it to the Indian
team. Iyer has also been given a chance in the ODI series against Africa. He
impressed the selectors with his brilliant game in the first 10 IPL matches and
made a place in Team India. However, Hardik Pandya's poor form also contributed
a lot in this. If Venkatesh continues to perform well, then he can ensure a
place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia.
3. Harshal Patel
RCB bowler Harshal Patel can also do wonders in the coming
times. Harshal was the highest wicket-taker in IPL in 2021. After that he got a
place in the Indian team and he did well here too. Harshal, who took 32 wickets
in IPL 2021, is also the highest wicket-taker in a season of this league.
Before him, Dwayne Bravo of Chennai also took 32 wickets in a season.
4. Avesh Khan
All eyes will be on Delhi Capitals fast bowler Avesh Khan
this year too. He was the second most successful bowler in IPL 2021. He took 24
wickets in 16 matches and scored runs at an economy of 7.37. Due to this, he
was also included in the Indian team, but did not get a chance to play the
match. Avesh is now in the eyes of the Indian selectors and in 2022 he will get
many opportunities in which he can prove himself and cement his place in the
team.
5. Shreyas Iyer
Team India's middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer made his Test
debut last year and scored a brilliant century in his very first match. Iyer
became the 16th Indian player to score a century in his first Test. He is fully
expected to get a chance in the Africa series as well and can cement his place
in India's middle order. Also, he has grown a lot in IPL and can captain any
franchise in 2022.
