As the Indian Premier League 2023 is all set to go on the floors, five young cricketers to keep an eye on in the Indian Premier League have been selected by former Indian cricketing star Saurav Ganguly. The former BCCI President was recently questioned about which players he believes would become household names in the league.
Before including Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill in the mix, Ganguly immediately mentioned Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and fast bowler Umran Malik. In this list, he specifically mentioned the name of the legendary batter Suryakumar Yadav. However, prominent figures like Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer were conspicuously absent from his response.

In the T20 format, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw both exhibit considerable skill. He’s just 23. (25). Rishabh Pant is the No. 2, and he has the entire globe at his disposal. I’d continue to observe Ruturaj Gaikwad’s performance. They are the three batsmen, in my opinion. Umran Malik is one player whose true pace will likely, assuming he stays healthy, keep the fans interested in the game.
Ganguly was questioned about Shubman Gill by Harbhajan Singh, who was watching the show, and the former captain immediately added him to his list. “Yeah, exactly; that’s the name that I forgot. But I believe Shubman Gill would be my fifth player. Hence, Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Umran Malik, and Surya are on the list “He smiled as he came to an end.
Pant will miss the competition owing to injuries received in a vehicle accident, but the majority of the players on the roster will have a wonderful chance to establish their individual IPL legacies.
