Sourav Ganguly on Youngsters
Sourav Ganguly was having an interaction with Star Sports where he was asked who will make a name for themselves in IPL 2023.
“The best in the business is Suryakumar Yadav. Obviously, you don’t consider him a youngster anymore, but having said that, among the young players, Prithvi Shaw has a lot of talent in the T20 format, and I think Rishabh Pant. He is only 23 (25). He has got the world at his feet; Rishabh Pant is the No. 2.” said Sourav Ganguly.
“I would keep a look at Ruturaj Gaikwad, how he keeps playing. I think these are the three batsmen. Umran Malik is one who will probably, if he stays fit, will continue to keep the fans interested in the game because of his genuine pace.” he stated.

Harbhajan Singh then asked how about Shubman Gill.
“Yes exactly, that’s the name that slipped my mind. But I think my fifth player would be Shubman Gill. So, it’s Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Surya probably heads the list, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Umran Malik and Shubman Gill.” he added.
