3 Indian players who could become household names

Cricket in India has been a sport which has held much value and prominence in the social fabric of the country. Stars are born through moments who go on to become idols across communities and bring people together. For generations, the big names have helped establish the connection fans have with the national side or their respective IPL teams.

The Indian side is currently in transition, watching the waning end of the Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli generation, with names like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharm and Ishan Kishan establishing themselves as gamechangers. With India looking to build up their next generation of stars across formats, we look at three players who could become household names in the upcoming years.

Here are 3 Indian players who could become household names in future:

3. Dhruv Jurel

Another product of the IPL's wide talent pool, Dhruv Jurel's rise to the Indian side has established him as a potential future star. A wicketkeeper-batter by trade, he has evolved from being a destructive but technically sound finisher to one of India's most reliable red-ball batters. He made a match-winning 90 in just his second Test appearance against England in Ranchi, showing his pedigree for the big stage. Two centuries later, he has looked ever the calm presence out in the middle.

A vital cog of the Rajasthan Royals batting juggernaut, Jurel has found success in a new role at one-drop, scoring over 500 runs, with match-winning scores against the Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. His next steps include a breakthrough into the white-ball sides, which would boost his status as a regular household name.
