Former Indian Test opener Aakash Chopra has picked Priyansh Arya and Prince Yadav as the two players who could have bright futures after their impressive performances in the ongoing IPL 2025. The youngsters have stole the show in the ongoing season with Vaibhav Suryavanshi hogging the limelight after he smashed 101 runs off just 38 balls against GT on Monday.
Chopra said he would have picked Sai Sudharsan, but the left-hander has already played for India. Sudarsan is the Orange Cap holder with 456 runs in nine matches at an average of 50.67 and a strike rate of 150.
Meanwhile, Priyanshi Arya has also impressed with the bat for PBKS. The left-hander has scored 323 runs in nine games at an average of 35.89 and a strike rate of 200.62.
On the other hand, Prince Yadav has got the ball to reverse and he has been accurate with his line and length. But the right-arm pacer doesn’t have great numbers as he has scalped two wickets in five matches at an average of 91 and an economy rate of 9.66.
“He (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) has scored a century just now, so you would feel that should be the name taken. However, who have I liked the most? I don’t know whether you would consider Sai Sudharsan young or not, or else I have found him the most impressive, but he has already played for the country,” Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.
“Priyansh Arya, the guy has the might, and I also liked Prince Yadav a lot. Contrary to popular belief, Prince Yadav has pace and temperament. He has the ability to reverse swing the ball, and he is someone who just stands up. Priyansh Arya has the rare skill of judging the ball early and has excellent hand-eye coordination. So these two boys – Prince Yadav and Priyansh Arya,” he added.
Meanwhile, the reputed commentator picked Delhi Capitals as the team that has surprised him with consistent performances. DC has managed six wins in nine games and they are on the right track.
“I have been surprised by Delhi a lot because I was unable to understand Delhi’s batting order. I thought they would do something wrong. My understanding was that Jake Fraser-McGurk would be dropped in the middle of the season. Whether they would make (KL) Rahul open or not, God knows,” he replied.
Chopra noted that DC needs two more wins to qualify for the playoffs.

DC will host KKR at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
