IPL 2022: Youngest XI of the tournament
These youngsters fared well for their respective teams in IPL 2022.
2. Shubman Gill (22)
Shubman Gill was one of the best finds from the 2018 U19 World Cup where he was named the Player of the tournament after India won. Since Gill’s debut, his batting has been consistently good as he has maintained an average of over 30. His inclusion in the national Test side shows the class this batter holds.
The 22-year-old who hails from Punjab has drawn immense praise from all quarters throughout these years. He made his IPL debut with KKR and the franchise did not let him go until this year’s mega auction where Gujarat pounced on the chance to rope him in.
Gill is as good as an opener as he is in the middle order. His flex while fielding also makes him a delight to watch. This year in the 16 matches for Gujarat, he scored 483 runs with a strike rate of 132.32 and maintained an average of 34.50 and played a crucial role in the team winning the trophy. More than the shortest format, his batting class is vastly visible in the longest format of the game.
