I've been very impressed with some of the young, uncapped Indian players: Anil Kumble
Kumble lavished praises on uncapped youngsters performing in the IPL.
The hype for IPL 2025 has started, and a lot of fans and experts have already discussed the great moments in the tournament that took place last year. The tournament not only put on display the performances of seasoned campaigners, but also the upcoming young talents who look to make an impact in the global tournament.
Apart from seeing some of the legendary players in the tournament, the people also get to witness the rise of some uncapped players who are trying to establish themselves on the biggest of the stages. The cash-rich league has helped some young players reach sensational heights and become international stars.
Meanwhile, former IPL finalist and coach Anil Kumble has come forward to express his delight with the kind of talent uncapped players bring to the table. The legendary leg spinner has talked about some of the most iconic young performers from the 2024 season, bringing up the likes of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Abhishek Sharma, who have also given great performances in the national colours.
“I've been very impressed with some of the young, uncapped Indian players last season. Whether it's Ashutosh Sharma, Nitish Reddy, Mayank Yadav, Riyan Parag, or even Abhishek Sharma, these players have truly been standout performers. Seeing these uncapped players step up and showcase their talent, often stealing the limelight from established international stars, is a great sign for the future of Indian cricket,” Kumble spoke via JioHotstar.
Speaking of some of these young performers, Abhishek Sharma has impressed in the T20Is where he has an impressive record of 535 runs at an average of 33.43 and a strike rate of 193.84, and Nitish Reddy has also given some brilliant all-round performances in the Test arena where he also went on to score his first Test hundred in the Boxing Day game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) against the Australian attack in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
