IPL 2023: 5 youngsters to watch out for

4. Tristan Stubbs 

Tristan Stubbs is a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. He is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has dismantled bowling attacks with his flamboyant stroke play. The 22-year-old has featured in 53 T20 matches and scored 1028 runs at a strike rate of 151.17.

Stubbs has displayed his class in the international arena too. He has taken the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and helped turn the game in the favour of South Africa. The youngster has smashed 173 runs in 13 T20Is at a stunning strike rate of 164.76.

In a fickle T20 format, playing an aggressive brand of cricket has become the need of the hour and Stubbs is someone who embodies that approach. Thus, Mumbai Indians retained him for IPL 2023. The South African batter would be eager to bring his A-game into play in the forthcoming season of the cash-rich league.
