IPL has been the biggest platform for young and talented players to showcase their skills.

In this article, we will take a look at 3 Emerging player award winners who have ruled world cricket or can do the same in the future. 

Rohit Sharma

The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is certainly the biggest name in the list of players who have won this award. He is arguably the greatest opener of the modern generation and has been a match-winner for Team India in all formats of the game. The Hitman, as he is famously called, has multiple records to his name and his importance in the Indian team can’t be described in words. Not just in international cricket but he has been one of the greatest players in the history of IPL. Rohit has won 5 titles as a captain, a record that is only held by MS Dhoni other than him. 

Rishabh Pant

The swashbuckling Indian wicketkeeper batter is another name who has left his mark in international cricket. Rishabh’s start to his IPL career was fantastic and he won the Emerging Player award in 2018. Since then, he has only grown in stature. He is an all-format player for India and one of the most destructive players in world cricket. 

Shubman Gill

Another player who has the potential to rule the cricket world is the Indian top-order batter, Shubman Gill. The 24-year-old who is also the captain of Gujarat Titans has taken international cricket by storm in the last couple of years. Even in the IPL, he is one of the most consistent batters. He won this award in 2019 when he was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. Big things are expected from the elegant right-hander and the Indian fans are hoping he turns out to be a big star for them.
