Shastri picks four IPL stars to make it big at International level
Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri has picked four standout performers from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) whom he believes have the potential to make a mark on the international stage. Over the years, IPL has produced several players who have gone on to make a mark at the international level. Shastri picked the likes of Ayush Mhatre (CSK), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (RR), Priyansh Arya (PBKS) and Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS) as future stars of Indian cricket.
“The two Punjab openers (Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh) as well, they give it a smack," Shastri said on the ICC review.
“The shots, the three shots this Ayush Mhatre played against the Mumbai Indians the other night in Mumbai. The way he took off, unbelievable shots for a 17-year-old, against a star-studded Mumbai Indians line-up to come out and express himself in that fashion caught everyone's eye. I think Ayush Mhatre has got a future. When I look at him, some of the shots he played, I think this guy, if he's handled properly and is with the right kind of people, he is someone who can go a long way," he said.
Shastri also shared a word of caution for young gun Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
“People will come up with new things. There'll be lots of short stuff thrown at him. When you tonk someone's first ball for six, then you show no mercy. Then you don't care whether he's 14 years old or 12 years old or 20 years old,"
