5 Indian players who should earn maiden national call-up after IPL 2024
Riyan Parag is seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket.
2. Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma produced a spellbound batting display for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. He played a substantial role by scoring runs at a rate of knots as an opener and dominated the bowling attack with relative ease in the powerplay overs.
His aggressive stroke-play served as an ideal catalyst for the Sunrisers to post a colossal total. Overall, he amassed 484 runs including 3 fifties at a sensational strike rate of 204.21. The best part of Abhishek Sharma is that he is a quick learner and does pick up lessons on the go.
3. Harshit Rana
Harshit Rana was the other prospect who caught everyone’s attention in the recently-concluded tournament. Although he came under fire for his controversial send-off to Mayank Agarwal in the starting point of the season, he drew plaudits for his mature bowling performances.
What set him apart was his ability to maintain sheer consistency throughout the tournament. Undoubtedly, he was the find of KKR and for sure, he will be retained by the franchise ahead of the next season. Overall, the 22-year-old has taken 19 wickets in 12 games and is one of the strong contenders to earn call-up to play for Team India.
