In 2025, a new era of Indian players has begin, where old players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test and one-day matches, similarly players like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma have come, who are making a splash in different formats.
Shubhman Gill: The perfect player for ODIs and Tests
Shubman Gill has completely become the backbone of India’s batting line-up today. He represents a different kind of game in ODIs and Test matches. Gill’s classical technique and ability to score runs quickly have made him one of the most different openers in the world. His average in Test cricket is around 37 and he has also made double centuries in ODIs, which is against New Zealand when he made 208 runs in 149 balls. When he made 208 runs, he was only 23 years old, which is a record.
Shubhman Gill’s leadership is now visible in Tests
Recently Shubman Gill has been made the captain of the Test squad, due to his calm personality he has gained a lot of respect among teammates and experts. In ODIs and Tests he takes the innings normally, when the team needs a fast innings he takes it with speed, he is the only player who has the courage to play for 50 overs, he is the only player of this time who has the ability to break Rohit Sharma’s ODI record of 264
Rishabh Pant: Double blast of middle order and wicket keeper
Rishabh Pant is such a player who plays like an ODI in test matches. In the 2022 accident, Rishabh Pant was almost dead. After about 1.5 to 2 years, Rishabh Pant’s comeback was no less than a miracle. In 2025, he became a strong pillar of India’s middle order. In all formats, be it Test match, T20 or ODI, Pant fits everywhere. If a shower of fours has to be hit in the end overs, then at that time there is no better batsman than Pant. He fits in every role.
With Pant’s return to Test cricket, every single match of Australia is remembered for the way he batted. Rishabh Pant’s best score in Test was 159 runs which came against Australia in the match played in Sydney. In ODIs and T20Is, he is playing the role of a finisher very well and is also an excellent wicketkeeper. Pant’s reflexes behind the stumps are lightning fast and his game-reading ability brings a tactical edge to the team.
Even outside the field, Pant is a player of a different level. He guides all the new players. The way Pant talks gets recorded in the audio and people enjoy listening to his voice. Pant’s comeback story has inspired millions of people. The way Pant has made a comeback is a miracle. Pant is not just a cricketer, he is the strong pillar of India.
Abhishek Sharma: A new hero of twenty 20 cricket
Abhishek Sharma, the king of 2025 Abhishek Sharma has become a powerful player in the T20 format. As a left-handed batsman, Sharma has created a stir in T20 cricket and the whole world has become a fan of this player. With an average of around 34 and a 193+ strike rate, he has become the first option for India as an opening batsman in the T20 format.
Abhishek Sharma’s IPL 2025 season was explosive. He scored one century while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He showed the same explosive form in international cricket as well, where he gave India a fast start in powerplays by starting aggressively. So far, while playing for India, Sharma has scored 535 runs in 16 innings of 17 matches, which includes 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries, which is Abhishek’s highest run score of 135.
The special thing about Abhishek is his strength. Despite shining in T20s, he is also preparing for ODIs in full swing. His part-time left-arm spin adds a different dimension to his game. At just 25 years of age, people are seeing him as the modern avatar of Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj Singh himself has become a fan of Abhishek Sharma. The way he plays is quite different.
