Youngsters lighting up IPL with their batting

To become a superpower in any sport the domestic structure of the sport in that specific country becomes important. India has become a world-class unit with the help of a strong domestic setup and the Indian Premier League has also played its role over the years. The league has witnessed some emerging youngsters who showed their potential in the most competitive T20 league around the globe. Some of them faded away, some of them made it to the Indian T20I side and some of them are still trying to find a way to get into the Indian team. 

The left-handed Hyderabad batter has impressed many with his exploits in the tournament so far. Varma has an absolutely solid technique and a courageous approach to stamp his authority. He has scored 157 runs from five matches at 39.25 and a brilliant strike rate of 160.2. Tilak Varma also has an impressive record in domestic cricket. He has 255 first-class runs at 31.87, 784 List-A runs at 52.26 and 538 T20 runs at 31.64 On his debut game against Delhi Capitals, Varma showed a lot of composure and played a confident knock of 22 runs from 15 balls to stitch a decent partnership with Ishan Kishan. 

Abhinav Manohar 

Abhinav Manohar is another bloke in Indian cricket who has showcased his talent in the ongoing season of the IPL. He has scored 94 runs from 4 innings at 31.33. Manohar was up against a bowling attack composed of Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi. However, the youngster was not afraid to face the bowling and he scored unbeaten 15 runs from 7 balls playing a key role in finishing the game. 

Ayush Badoni 

The Delhi-based cricketer Ayush Badoni displayed his quality to absorb pressure right from the start in IPL 2022. He has been praised by many former cricketers and experts have praised his skills in a very short period of time. Badoni has scored 107 runs from five innings at 35.67 with one half-century. In his very first match of the IPL career, when Lucknow Super Giants were reduced to 29/4. However, Badoni along with Deepak Hooda stitched a crucial partnership of 87 runs for the fifth wicket and helped the team put up a decent total on the scoreboard. 

Anuj Rawat

Anuj Rawat was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 3.40 Crores and the amount paid to acquire his services was surprising for many. Now, he has become a regular opener for the side and has a lot of quality and a solid technique to his game. Rawat has 954 first-class runs at 30.77 and 573 List-A runs at 44.07 to his name. In the first three games, Rawat registered scores of 21,0, 26 and the move to open the innings with him came under heavy criticism. 

Once again, IPL has turned out to be a platform for young cricketers to prove themselves and a lot of them are delivering for their franchises. Hopefully, these cricketers will continue to be shining in the game and excel to be successful cricketers in the future.
