Former India cricketer Ajit Agarkar was thoroughly impressed by the performances of one young player in the IPL. From Devdutt Paddikkal to Ishan Kishan and several other talented Indian players showcased their skills and competed with some of the best players in the world. Agarkar who was working as a commentator in IPL 2020 identified one player that can shortly represent team India.
The young player that Agarkar spoke highly about is the 20-year-old fast bowler Kartik Tyagi. Agarkar deems that Tyagi has got something special about him and he loved watching him bowl during the IPL. Tyagi played for the Rajasthan Royals and scalped key wickets in his very first season.

He dismissed the likes of Virat Kohli and Quinton de Kock and looked at home in his very first IPL season. On top of the that his ability to crank it up and bowl with pace and his attitude at such a young age struck Agarkar.
“I think the one guy I quite loved watching in this IPL was Kartik Tyagi for Rajasthan Royals. I think there is something about him for someone who is so young and inexperienced.
“His attitude was great and it is never easy for a young raw Indian fast bowler to come and have a big IPL but you learn from these experiences”, Ajit Agarkar said during Star Sports show Cricket Connected when asked about who could play for Team India soon.
