It is a crucial year for Team India in the T20 format. Here, we take a look at the list of three Indians who could make their T20I debut in 2025.
India will host the 2026 T20 World Cup. The men in blue will be under pressure to win the competition. Hence, a lot of players could be auditioned in 2025.
1) Harshit Rana
It is surprising to know that Harshit Rana is yet to play for India in any of the white-ball formats. It was actually in the IPL, while playing for KKR, that he caught the eye of the selectors. Nevertheless, now, it is sure that Jasprit Bumrah will not play a lot of T20Is. Therefore, we could see someone like Harshit getting a few chances.
2) Rajat Patidar could make his T20I debut in 2025
Rajat Patidar is one of the Indians who could make their T20I debut in 2025. He has made his ODI and Test debut but is yet to play for India in the T20 format. An excellent player of spin, if he continues his form until IPL 2025, he will surely be a name that the selectors cannot avoid. Of course, he will have to show his skills to play a long inning on a consistent basis.
3) Rasik Salam
The new recruit of RCB could have his way if he can do well at the death. He seems to have got the variations to excel. His economy is something that will have to reduce. Rasik can also bat a bit and Gautam Gambhir is someone who likes batting depth. Therefore, Rasik has a good chance.
