With the 2022 IPL auction coming around, franchises will be looking for young Indian stars to strengthen their sides while adding some international stars as well. Several youngsters who got their opportunity in the 2021 IPL have made an impression on the cricketing world and have proven their worth to IPL team owners and coaches.
Keeping the auction and the 2022 IPL season in mind, for me, the following players are the best of the lot who made their breakthrough in the 2021 IPL season.
Iyer scored a mammoth 370 runs during IPL 2021 and was lethal in providing the KKR’s fast-paced starts. Iyer also proved to be quite handy with the ball, allowing the Knight Riders to utilise the medium-pacer as the sixth bowling option at times.
Bharat scored a total of 191 runs, most of which came during the second half when he took nicely to the No. 3 spot. He also received his Indian call-up soon after the IPL, during which he was brought in to take the gloves for an injured Wriddhiman Saha in a Test match against New Zealand.
The right-arm fast bowler picked up 24 wickets during the 2021 IPL season and was pivotal in closing out the bowling for the Delhi Capitals. Although his journey with the Capitals has ended, other teams will certainly be looking to bring the youngster in to bolster their bowling line-up.
The youngster ended IPL 2021 only one wicket behind Chris Morris, the leading wicket-taker for the Royals. His performances in the IPL also earned him a spot in the Indian side that toured Sri Lanka in 2021. He will certainly be one to watch in IPL 2022.
For a breakthrough season in the IPL, many would consider scoring a total of nearly 250 runs not a bad start to a youngster’s career. Jaiswal has now been retained by the Royals for IPL 2022, and he looks to be their long-term option, just like Sanju Samson was a few years ago.
