Yashasvi Jaiswal

1/6

Yashasvi Jaiswal has proven his worth as future India opener in the T20Is. He is striking the ball at over 160 in the current season while he averages 50. Chances are high that Yashasavi ends up with the Orange Cap this season. His India call-up seems very near after a stunning IPL season. Selectors are definitely watching and Jay Shah's tweet praising him may just do the job. (Image source: Twitter)

Tilak Varma

2/6

After IPL 2022, MI captain Rohit Sharma made a bold prediction on Tilak Varma. He said that Tilak has all the makings of an all-format batter of Indian cricket team in times to come. He finished as the leading run-scorer for Mumbai last year and this year he is going from strength-to-strength. (Image source: Twitter)

Rinku Singh

3/6

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh said that Rinku Singh is not far away from getting India call-up. After showing glimpses of his brilliance in previous editions, Rinku has blossomed in the current edition of IPL, playing some terrific match-winning knocks. Who can forget his five sixes in the last over vs GT to win a game for KKR. (Image source: Twitter)

Abhinav Manohar

4/6

Abhinav Manohar may not have had a great IPL 2023. But he is surely a talent to watch out for. He emerged out last season and was one of the big reasons Gujarat Titans went on to win the tournament. He is an impact player, someone who can win you games and tournaments. His power-hitting is what makes his stand out from the rest, not the number of runs he accumulates. (Image source: Twitter)

Jitesh Sharma

5/6

Punjab Kings batter Jitesh Sharma has shown tremendous potential to be the next wicketkeeper/batter for Team India. He is only 30 and plays aggressive cricket in the middle order. With 260 runs in 11 games, Jitesh can prove to be a finisher for Indian cricket team in the times to come. (Image source: Twitter)

Dhruv Jurel

6/6

Dhruv Jurel has been outstanding for RR in whatever little we have seen from him this season. Jurel could have been a constant in teams where there is not enough fight for places, such as Delhi Capitals. At Rajasthan Royals, he finds it hard to get chances to show his worth consistently. But his performances have shown that he belongs to higher level. (Image source: Twitter)
