Indian cricket is experiencing the emergence of several promising young talents drawing considerable attention. Three players have impressed experts like Harsha Bhogle, who believe they have the potential to make a mark on the global stage. Here’s an in-depth look at these rising stars and Bhogle’s perspective on them.
On his YouTube channel, he pointed out Yashasvi Jaiswal as his leading pick, “We have talked about him a lot he’s going to do much more but Yashasvi Jaiswal across formats I’m Talking about”.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, the talented left-handed opener, has been making his mark in Indian cricket with his impressive performances. He recently showcased his skills and talent in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) consistently delivering strong innings and displaying excellent stroke play.
Harsha Bhogle believes that Yashasvi Jaiswal is an exceptionally talented player with a bright future, and he is confident that Jaiswal will achieve even greater success across formats.
Bhogle’s second pick was aggressive left-hander opener Abhishek Sharma, “I’m not sure if he wants to play too much red-ball cricket, but what he’s done in T20s has been impressive. First, in partnership with Travis Head and then in short but stunning glimpses with Sanju Samson, he’s finished the year with an incredible strike rate of around 189-190. He’s my second pick”. he said.
Abhishek Sharma, the left-handed opener for India, has made a mark with his aggressive batting style and ability to accelerate innings, especially in T20 cricket. Known for his impressive strike rate, he has showcased his potential in partnerships with key players, leaving a strong impression in the domestic and IPL circuits.
Harsha Bhogle thinks highly of Abhishek Sharma, admiring his impressive performances in T20 cricket, especially his remarkable strike rate and ability to form strong partnerships with key players like Travis Head and Sanju Samson.
Bhogle’s third pick was Tilak Verma, “I’ve been watching him for a year and a bit, and now he’s starting to look like the complete package. He’s the one I believe, as Rohit Sharma said last year, will become a proper multi-format player. I just hope he continues to be a strong fielder, improves even further, and starts bowling more as well.” he said on his YouTube channel.
Tilak Verma, the left-handed middle-order batsman, has been gaining attention for his consistent performances in T20 cricket. Known for his elegant stroke play and maturity at a young age, he impressed with his ability to handle pressure in crucial moments. With his all-round potential and versatility, Verma is seen as a future multi-format player for India.
Harsha Bhogle believes that Tilak Verma is developing into a well-rounded player, showing signs of becoming a complete package, and he expects him to evolve into a strong multi-format cricketer, provided he continues to improve his fielding and start bowling more.
