One of the most exciting years in recent memory has been the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). On-field drama, thrillers, rivalries, and other high-quality cricket have been witnessed by fans all over the world. Many young people have done something worth remembering, having a special interest in a spot in the public group. In the game’s shortest format, some veterans have also demonstrated that they are not yet finished.
One of the most important phases in a young cricketer’s development is still playing domestic cricket. The IPL is a high-pressure rivalry with significantly more in question. The team must produce results, so they cannot afford to back a player who does not consistently perform. We examine three Indian batters who are elite in domestic cricket but have so far failed in the IPL 2023 in this piece.
1) Shaw, Prithvi
After a very successful domestic season, Prithvi Shaw entered the IPL. In 2022/23, Mumbai’s explosive opener scored 332 runs in 10 innings at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 181. The team won the title thanks in large part to the 23-year-old. In the Ranji Trophy, he followed it up with a blistering triple hundred against Assam.
This IPL season has been very cruel on Shaw. In six innings, he has only scored 15 runs and scored 47 runs. The head coach of the Delhi Capitals stated that it was a difficult decision, and the batter was even dropped from the playing XI.
2) Sarfaraz Khan
He was in outstanding structure in the Ranji Prize, scoring 556 runs in nine innings at a normal of 92.67. In Mumbai’s successful SMAT title victory, the middle-order batter was also the third-highest run-getter, scoring 199 runs at an average of 28 and a strike rate of 123.
Be that as it may, Sarfaraz has neglected to duplicate his heroics in the IPL. In the absence of Rishabh Pant, he had a fantastic opportunity to earn a spot in the playing XI. The 25-year-old, on the other hand, has only struck out 85 times in four innings and scored 53 runs.
3) Mayank Agarwal
Last season, Mayank Agarwal scored the most runs in the Ranji Trophy, with 990 runs scored in 13 innings at an average of 82.50. He likewise scored 165 runs in eight innings at a strike pace of 155 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Prize. After leading the Punjab Kings in 2022, Agarwal was released, and Sunrisers Hyderabad purchased him at an auction in December of last year for 8.25 crore rupees.
In eight innings, the 32-year-old has only allowed 169 runs at an average of 21 and a strike rate of 110. The going after right-hander has neglected to score a solitary 50 years this season.
