5 middle order batters who could debut for India soon
These players have done well in the domestic circuit and their hard work could pay off as selectors could give them a chance to make their international debuts.
1. Tilak Varma
After putting up an impressive show with his bat for Mumbai Indians (MI) in his maiden IPL season in 2022, Tilak Varma became a renowned name among Indian cricket supporters. Currently, he is an essential part of MI as the 20-year-old has proven himself with his batting in the middle order.
In the 2022-23 domestic season, he did well in the white-ball competitions, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. Hyderabad’s campaign concluded in the league round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23, but Varma looked positive with his bat, scoring 402 runs with a couple of tons and a fifty in seven matches at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 118.23.
Earlier, Varma kicked off his 2022-23 season with a bang in the Syed Mushtaq Alli Trophy. Piling up 297 runs with four half-centuries in six innings of seven matches, he ended up as the leading run-scorer for his team. This year, selectors will closely track his performance, and if he continues to be among the runs, the left-handed batter might show up in international cricket for India.
