The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the biggest and most popular cricket leagues in the world. The IPL 2023 season is sure to be an exciting one, with a lot of talented players competing for the league title.
As the season draws near, it is important to keep an eye on certain players who have the potential to make or break their future careers in the league.
Due to IPL, many youngsters utilise their chances and get a spot in the national team squad. There are many seasoned players whose performance in IPL 2023 might get them back in the Indian squad. Here are three players whose performance in the IPL 2023 season will be crucial for their future in the sport:
Manish Pandey
Manish Pandey has consistently performed for the Indian cricket team, yet he never relies solely on his good fortune; instead, he always does not get spotted in the squad. He was not selected for the T20I team in the most recent series against Sri Lanka.
Talking about his recent form, in a match against Goa during the Ranji Trophy’s group round, veteran batter Manish Pandey gave it his all; he scored unbeaten 208 runs. The Delhi Capitals purchased Pandey during the IPL auction for Rs 2.4 crore.
Navdeep Saini
With his lightning-fast bowling and pinpoint accuracy, Navdeep Saini was able to join the Indian international team after the 2019 World Cup. He was a pioneer among the young fast bowlers who joined the Indian team. However, his subpar performance and injuries caused him to lose his spot on the Indian team.
Navdeep is aware that there are many seasoned players in India who will return owing to their skill set and experience, while younger players like Shardul, Siraj, Krishna, and Chahar have performed much better, leaving him in the middle. His international career can only be saved with an exceptional IPL 2023 performance. Navdeep Saini was purchased by Rajasthan Royals for 2.60 Cr, which was his basic price, during the IPL 2023 auction.
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan was not included in the Indian side during the series against Sri Lanka. With his better performance, he might be able to solidify his spot in the Indian squad for the ODI world cup 2023.
Dhawan will lead the PBKS in IPL 2023. He will try to use all his prowess to perform outstandingly in IPL this year. In the IPL 2022, Shikhar Dhawan has been in outstanding form. With 5784 runs to his name thanks to 244 half-centuries, Dhawan, a steady run-getter in the league, is among the top run-getters in IPL history.
