2. Venkatesh Iyer
Venkatesh Iyer has had a lot of memories to cherish in recent times. His story is quite filmy and has twists like Bollywood movies. Venkatesh was introduced by KKR in the UAE leg of the 2021 IPL. He was given a chance due to ordinary performances from the previous opening pair. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands and was fabulous in the UAE leg.
His splendid performances in the UAE leg gave him a ticket to play for the Indian cricket team. He made his T20I debut for India against New Zealand in November 2021.
His dream run continued in 2022 too as the batter made his ODI debut against South Africa in January 2022. He played for India as a batting all-rounder at number six but we can see him opening the innings with Alex Hales in April and May of 2022.
