Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has picked Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi as the four young lads who can make it big in International cricket. The quartet has impressed one and all in the ongoing season.
Prabhsimran Singh has scored 292 runs in nine matches of IPL 2025 at an average of 32.44 and a strike rate of 168.79. On the other hand, 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.
“The two Punjab openers (Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh) as well, they give it a smack,” Shastri said on ICC Review.
Meanwhile, Ayush Mhatre made an impressive IPL debut against Mumbai Indians, scoring 32 runs off just 15 balls.
“The shots, the three shots this Ayush Mhatre played against the Mumbai Indians the other night in Mumbai. The way he took off, unbelievable shots for a 17-year-old, against a star-studded Mumbai Indians line-up to come out and express himself in that fashion caught everyone’s eye. I think Ayush Mhatre has got a future. When I look at him, some of the shots he played, I think this guy, if he’s handled properly and is with the right kind of people, he is someone who can go a long way,” he explained.
Furthermore, Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed the first he faced in the IPL against Shardul Thakur for a six. The youngster scored 34 runs off just 20 balls in his debut game against LSG.
“I think the first shot he played, that would have taken everyone’s breath away. But, he’s young, so I would say just let him play a bit because it’s at that age, there’s bound to be failure as well. It’s how he handles failure,” Shastri added.
The former Indian all-rounder said the southpaw will be tested with bouncers in the ongoing IPL.
“People will come up with new things. There’ll be lots of short stuff thrown at him. When you tonk someone’s first ball for six, then you show no mercy. Then you don’t care whether he’s 14 years old or 12 years old or 20 years old,” he stated.
These four players have certainly shown the skills to go a long way in their respective career and it would be interesting to note their career’s graph.
