IPL 2018: 5 Indian stars who may rule world cricket 5 years from now

#1 Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar has already made his presence felt at the international stage

Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar came into IPL 2018 after a successful previous season with Rising Pune Supergiant and a memorable TNPL performance.

He was acquired by RCB for ₹4 crores and was expected to provide them with an option to bowl the power play overs and an able finisher lower down the order.

In the seven matches he got to play before being replaced by Moeen Ali, he only picked 4 wickets that came at an economy rate of 9.60.

He did show sparks of brilliance in some of the quick runs he scored, or at times when he bowled good deliveries, but all of that came in short bursts to impress.

The 18-year-old, who won the Man of the Series award in the Nidahas Trophy, has been retained by the national selectors in the Indian team that is scheduled to tour England which shall prove as a major confidence booster for the youngster.

Someone who has received high acclaim from the likes of Rahul Dravid is quite unlikely to disappoint and Sundar has been a good student of 'The Wall'.

He is a talent to nurture going forward, and he might bring back the attention to finger spinners in an era of the wrist counterparts.
