IPL 2017: Top 5 U-23 performers

#1 Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is great prospect for Indian Cricket

The attacking left-hander has been the talk of the tournament for some time now. After his success in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup last year, the teenager has come a long way to be labelled as the future of Indian Cricket.

Pant has had a terrific run so far in this year’s IPL. The southpaw has played some impressive cameos for Delhi Daredevils and has been their trump card. In the 10 games he has played, Pant has scored 281 runs at an impressive strike-rate of 175.62. Though he has failed on occasions, the Delhi lad has shown what he’s capable of with the bat.

He showed glimpses of his batting prowess in a fighting innings at Chinnaswamy but unfortunately couldn’t take his side home. But his demolishing innings – a 43-ball 97, against Gujarat Lions was enough to take his side to the doorsteps of a famous win. The talented left-hander is a match-winner on his day and certainly is one for the future.
