Many young cricketers rose to prominence in 2024, with outstanding performances across all forms. Among them, five players stood out for their promising performances on the big stage, implying that they may be the future foundation of Indian cricket.

Overall, the Indian cricket team has been a thorough breeding ground for fresh and developing talent, making an influence in the most effective manner conceivable.

It is no surprise to find the current and prominent emerging players who would play a decisive role in earning India's probable future ICC titles, tournaments or bilateral series wins. That said, here's a list of the top five debutants from the Indian Cricket Team, the 2024 edition.

1. Nitish Kumar Reddy

Nitish Kumar Reddy made headlines in 2024 with his all-around excellence. Reddy, a hard-hitting batter and a skilled seam bowler was instrumental in his team's success in domestic championships. His ability to adapt to new conditions and produce in all areas makes him one of the most promising young players to watch.

His outstanding efforts won him a spot in India's team for the current 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in which he has shined with both bat and ball. Like his colleague Abhishek Sharma, Nitish established his way with impressive rising player performances for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Debuted in the Test and T20I formats, he has made 179 runs and 90 runs, respectively, with a nice strike-rate backing.
