Indian players who earned their spot through IPL now impressing fans
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has often been criticised when the Men in Blue have not performed well, especially in ICC events.
1. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav is the current captain of India's T20 team. He took charge in mid-2024, and the Men in Blue have not lost a series so far under his astute leadership. Suryakumar made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians in 2012. However, he played consistently after joining KKR. His ability to go after the bowlers from the outset impressed cricket enthusiasts.
After Suryakumar rejoined MI, he got opportunities to bat in the top-order, and he unleashed his true potential. After remaining in contention for a few years, Suryakumar eventually made his international debut in March 2021. He started his career with a six off the first ball he faced. It was bowled by Jofra Archer. The 35-year-old had also gone up to No. 1 in the T20 rankings for batters previously. The Mumbai-born is among the first lot of IPL batters who became T20 specialists for India.
