Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has been one of the most exciting seasons in the history of the tournament. Finishing off the last over, defending low scores, scoring more than 800 runs in a day, and youngsters coming forward and winning games – all these factors have made the ongoing edition of the league a blockbuster hit.
Talking about youngsters, IPL 2023 has also seen a huge rise in players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh. Both of them have impressed with their stroke play while experts believe that they are ready to play for India.

Yashasvi is having a dream run this season. The Rajasthan Royals opener has been his team’s top scorer among the top three run-getters of IPL 2023. With 575 runs in 13 matches at an average of nearly 48 and a staggering strike-rate of 166, Yashasvi is in red-hot form. He recently scored his maiden IPL ton against Kolkata Knight Riders which definitely put him in the list of hot contenders.
Rinku Singh, on the other hand, is getting positive results for his hard work and is paying KKR for showing faith in him. His five consecutive sixes against Gujarat Titans put him in the big picture and since then, Rinku has become KKR’s match-winner who likes to finish off games. The Aligarh batsman has scored 407 runs in 13 matches and is among the top 10 highest scorers of the tournament.

“I really have a timeline for Yashasvi. I think he will be in the Indian team in the next 90 days. I think the other one is Rinku Singh and it’s time to take him more seriously. Those five sixes were not sudden. He has scored around 400 or more runs and with the strike rate he has scored and from that batting position, there is no other option available,” Chopra was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
“Remember, these two are not just a T20 phenomenon. Rinku averages 60 in first class while Yashasvi has scored over 1000 runs in his short domestic career so far. So they are performing in other formats as well, it is just that when IPL happens the world focuses more on one player.”
