Aakash Chopra’s first pick as a youngster likely to shine in the upcoming IPL was the Kolkata Knight Riders’ opener Shubman Gill, but he made it a point to mention that the list is not in any particular order.
The former KKR player went for Yashasvi Jaiswal as the second Indian youngster who could earn a name for himself in IPL 2020, and expressed hope that the Rajasthan Royals give him the opportunity to face the new ball.
The Indian Under-19 team’s star leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was Aakash Chopra’s third pick as a youngster who could mesmerise the opposition with his tricks in the upcoming IPL. The latter added that the KXIP head coach Anil Kumble would be a great mentor for him.
Aakash Chopra’s other two picks of youngsters to watch out for in IPL 2020
Aakash Chopra’s penultimate pick of an Indian youngster who is expected to shine in IPL 2020 was Rahul Chahar, with the Mumbai Indians likely to expect the leg-spinner to lead their slightly thin spin-bowling attack.
Aakash Chopra went for Devdutt Padikkal as his final choice among the five Indian youngsters who are likely to show their prowess in the upcoming IPL. He observed that Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Sarfaraz Khan are some of the other players he could have gone for.
Devdutt Padikkal had an outstanding 2019-20 season for Karnataka, especially in the limited-overs formats. The left-handed opening batsman has scored 650 runs at an excellent average of 59.09 in List A cricket and 580 runs at an outstanding average of 64.44 in the T20s that he has played so far.
