5 Indian batters who could dominate the next 5 years

Indian cricket has a strong pipeline of batting talent that is already making an impact at the international level. Several young and experienced batters have shown the ability to perform across formats and in challenging conditions.

With the next five years likely to bring major Test series, ICC events and bilateral competitions, these five batters stand out as players who could carry India's batting across all three formats.

Here are the five Indian players who could dominate the next five years:

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal made his Test debut on July 12, 2023 against West Indies at Roseau, scoring 171 in that match. He became one of a small group of Indians to score a century on Test debut, and India won by an innings and 141 runs. In the two-Test home series against West Indies in October 2025, Jaiswal was the highest run-scorer with 219 runs as India won 2-0. He also scored 58 off 97 balls in the first innings of the second Test against South Africa in November 2025.

Jaiswal made his ODI debut against England in February 2025 and scored an unbeaten 116 off 121 balls in the ODI series decider against South Africa at Visakhapatnam in December 2025, sealing a nine-wicket win. That innings made him the sixth Indian man to score an international hundred in all three formats. Jaiswal plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. Recently, in the Sri Lankan tour he could not do much with the bat but all eyes are on the youngster in the upcoming series.
