Top 5 debutants of 2024 from the Indian Cricket Team

2. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma had a memorable year, establishing himself as a reliable all-rounder from 2024. Sharma, known for his daring strokeplay and effective left-arm spin, dominated regional competitions and franchise cricket before making his national debut in the T20I series against Zimbabwe. His ability to anchor innings or accelerate when necessary made him a valuable addition to his club in a short period.

Sharma, who credits his stellar start to his time with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, has the potential to be the next big thing in terms of a swashbuckling top-order batter. In 12 T20I matches, he has scored 256 runs, including one half-century and a triple-digit figure, at a gigantic strike rate of 172.
