The ODI World Cup campaign is over and now the focus shifts to the next T20 World Cup in 2024. The Indian team will start preparing for the 2024 T20 World Cup with the series against Australia. The Men in Blue will be playing a 5-match series against the ODI World Champions, Australia. This is a great opportunity for the youngsters to stake their claim for their place in the squad for the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the USA.
Let’s take a look at 3 Indian youngsters to watch out for in the IND vs AUS T20I series:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
The left-handed opener from Mumbai has been picked for the series and this will be a crucial series for him. Jaiswal has made a great start to his international career with solid performances against West Indies, though in test cricket. Jaiswal has been a consistent performer for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. He scored 625 runs in the last season including an explosive century. He can very well be the third choice for the opening slot in the squad for the next T20 World Cup. This series would pose a good challenge for him to test himself in the shortest format on the international stage.
2. Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma has emerged as a very bright talent in the middle order. He played some crucial knocks for Mumbai Indians in the middle order to extract them out of adverse situations. In the last two seasons of IPL, he has scored around 350 runs in each season. He surely has the potential to become a long-term mainstay in the Indian middle order. The Indian team has always longed for a left-hander in the batting order after the departure of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina, Tilak Varma can put an end to that long wait.
3. Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh is a special talent in terms of the skills that he possesses. He has shown in the IPL, for Kolkata Knight Riders, that he can be the crisis man for his team. He is fearless yet calibrated in his approach. On multiple occasions, he did the job for KKR in death overs where the chase looked next to impossible but Rinku Singh made it worth it for the fans to stick around till the very last ball. From here onwards his quest for selection for the World Cup squad begins and the player from Uttar Pradesh would be raring to face the challenges to make sure that he is there on the flight to the Caribbean in 2024.
