The Indian T20 League changed the landscape of cricket in 2008 when the league was born. With the advent of the Indian T20 League, there has been a great shift in franchise cricket, and it has resulted in a lot of countries launching their own leagues. This year, the Indian T20 League will return to its home and away format. Last year the league was hosted entirely in Mumbai and Pune.
In an interaction on Jio cinema which had the likes of Anil Kumble, Aakash Chopra, Parthiv Patel, Robin Uthappa, Scott Styris and Chris Gayle. The experts were asked to pick two players who could make it big for India in the future. Kumble picked up the duo of Arshdeep Singh and Ishan Kishan. Patel picked the likes of Tilak Varma and Umran Malik. Uthappa also was of the opinion that Varma could be a future star of India.
Arshdeep Singh was a good left-arm option for India in the 20-20 World Cup in Australia. Arshdeep, with his pace and variations, has been very good for the men and blue and he bowls beautifully in the death overs. When it comes to Ishan Kishan, he became the fourth Indian to score a double hundred when he reached the magical three-figure mark against Bangladesh.
Tilak Varma proved his worth in the Indian T20 League in his debut season for Mumbai in 2022. The left-handed batter was good under pressure and played some eye-catching innings. Varma scored 397 runs in 14 matches with the highest score of 61. The discussion which was conducted by the experts did not feature the well-known names of Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill, who have done well for their respective franchises whenever they have played.
Gill made big runs in the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 league for the Gujarat franchise, which earned him a T20I debut for India. He did not start the series against New Zealand well, but he ended it well by scoring a sparkling ton in Ahmedabad. Samson has been a consistent run scorer for Rajasthan in the Indian T20 League.
