KOLKATA, Apr 27: The world has witnessed several performances from youngsters in this year's IPL 2022.
These young talents are still taking small steps in one of the most exciting IPL seasons but have left many cricket legends impressed with their superlative performances.
Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri believes Punjab Kings' uncapped left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is bowling exceedingly well in the death overs and he could be walking into the national side.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Shastri said, "For someone so young and then to deliver time and time again when the chips are down and the pressure is on him (it's brilliant to see). Arshdeep is holding on to his nerves brilliantly, he's doing well in death overs. This shows he's moving up the ranks very quickly and he could be walking into the Indian team."
West Indies batting legend Brian Lara has heaped praise on young Sunrisers Hyderabad speedster Umran Malik and claimed the pacer from Jammu is going to play for India.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Lara said, "Umran Malik reminds me a lot about Fiedel Edwards when he first started, a lot of pace and I hope that he understands it as he goes into international cricket, which I think he'll eventually play. In the IPL, a lot of batsmen get accustomed to playing sheer pace, so I hope that he adds a little bit more to his armoury later on. He's a quick learner in the nets, he's willing to learn and it's just awesome to see India has a pacer of that calibre, it's just tremendous."
Young Mumbai Indians' middle-order batsman Tilak Varma has garnered a lot of attention with his confident batting performances. The 19-year-old left-handed batter has impressed the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh.
