The ICC has announced the shortlist for the best Twenty20 players and emerging players in 2023, and Indian players have made a mark in the nominations. Suryakumar Yadav has been shortlisted for the Men’s T20 Player of the Year, while Yaswasi Jaiswal is in the running for the Male Emerging Star award.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has been a dominant force in the T20 format, is aiming to win the award for the second consecutive year. With an impressive performance in 2023, where he scored 733 runs from 17 innings at an average of 48.86, including two centuries and five half-centuries, Surya has proven himself as a top-notch player. His batting strike rate of 155.95 has set him apart from others in the competition. He faces tough competition from players like Zimbabwe’s Sikander Raza, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman, and Uganda’s Alpesh Ramjani.
Yaswasi Jaiswal, on the other hand, has made his mark as a male emerging star with his outstanding performances in Test and T20 formats. With 266 runs and a century in 2 Tests, and 430 runs and a century in 15 T20Is in 2023, Yaswasi has emerged as a promising talent. He will be competing with players like New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra, South Africa’s Geraldo Koitsea, and Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Madhushanka for the award.
In the women’s category, Indian players have not made it to the final lists. The battle for the title of the best women’s Twenty20 player is fierce, with players like Australia’s Ellis Perry, West Indies’ Hayley Mathews, and England’s Sophie Ecclestone in contention. Meanwhile, Australia’s Phoebe Lichfield, England’s Lauren Bell, Scotland’s Darcy Carter, and Bangladesh’s Marufa Akhtar have been shortlisted for the Emerging Female Player award.
The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place soon to honor the best performers in the T20 format for the year 2023. This announcement has sparked excitement among cricket fans as they eagerly await to see who will be crowned the best T20 players and emerging stars of the year.
