India's Upcoming Cricketers Whom the Country Now Idolizes

Bangalore: India is one country where its masses idolize cricketers. So far, the country has produced quite a lot of amazing cricketers. Here are the names of the upcoming cricketing stars as listed by Khelnama and A Kumar for Deccan Chronicle.

1. Unmukt Chand:
Unmukt Chand,  a right-hand batsman shot to prominence when he captained India Under-19 to victory in the 2012 World Cup with unbeaten 111 in a tense chase. His temperament and self-belief stood out throughout the tournament, helping India through unfamiliar conditions - it was his third consecutive century in a final match for India. Chand is the latest in the assembly line of Delhi batsmen, and has been compared to the likes of Virat Kohli, a world U-19 title-winning captain in 2008. He also had the benefit of playing in two seasons in first-class cricket and an IPL contract before the World Cup. He made his Ranji debut while still in school, and hit his maiden century (151) in his fourth game. As an aggressive right-hander, he tends to go for his shots early. Chand is also an interesting personality off the field, maintaining a regular diary and reading dictionaries in his spare time.
