5 Indian Players Who Can Make Their Test Debut In 2023

Abhimanyu Easwaran

The 27-year-old India A skipper from Bengal, Abhimanyu Easwaran has a decent record in T20s too apart from First Class and List A cricket. He averages 45.33 in 78 First class games and 46.24 in as many List A games.

He has notched up over 5000 FC and 3000 List A runs but is yet to debut for the national team. In T20s too, he has amassed 728 runs in 27 matches averaging 38.31, and has 1 ton and 3 fifties to his name. He may debut in Tests in 2023. 2023 may be the breakthrough year for him if he’s given an opportunity to open the innings in place of injury prone Rohit Sharma or out of form KL Rahul.

Sarfaraz Khan

The right-handed batter is in form of his life as he had shown during the Duleep Trophy, Irani Trophy, and Ranji Trophy seasons. Sarfaraz Khan has been in incredible form, having scored runs for India A, Mumbai, and the Rest of India at the first-class level.

In 31 first-class matches, the right-handed batter has scored 2949 runs at an average of 77.6 with 10 hundreds and eight half-centuries. Sarfaraz Khan was the leading run-scorer in the Ranji Trophy 2021-22, where Mumbai lost to Madhya Pradesh in the final.

In six matches, he scored 982 runs at an average of 122.75 with four centuries and two half-centuries to show for his efforts.  Sarfaraz Khan scored 928 runs in the 2019-20 edition of the Ranji Trophy and recorded 982 runs in the 2021-22 edition.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal had become the joint-fastest Indian to 1000 first-class runs, getting to the mark in only his 13th innings, just like Amol Muzumdar and Rusi Modi.

400 runs during India’s Under 19 World Cup 2020 campaign, the youngest Indian to score a List A double ton at the age of 17, Yashasvi Jaiswal was bought by Rajasthan Royals for INR 2.40 Cr ahead of the IPL 2020 and was retained in IPL 2021 and IPL 2022.  He had scored 547 runs averaging 23.78 in 23 IPL games.

Priyank Panchal

Priyank Panchal plays for Gujarat in the domestic circuit. The 32-year-old has outstanding stats in his career so far. In List A Games, he has scored 3208 runs in 82 games at an average of 41.12.

In First Class Cricket, the right-handed batsman has scored 7863 runs in 109 games at an average of 46.84. However, he is yet to make his debut but may debut in Tests in 2023 if favoured by new selection committee. 2023 may be the breakthrough year for him if he’s given an opportunity to open the innings in place of injury prone Rohit Sharma or out of form KL Rahul.

Mukesh Kumar

The selectors have included uncapped pacers Shivam Mavi and Mukesh Kumar in the squad for the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. Bengal pacer uncapped Mukesh Kumar was signed by Delhi Capitals for INR 5.5 crore though he entered the auction at a base price of INR 20 lakh. Mukesh Kumar has made rapid strides in domestic cricket with his good lengths and ability to move the ball off the pitch.

The 29-year-old pacer was included in the ODI Series squad against South Africa but did not feature in the contest. He may debut in Tests apart from ODIs and T20Is in 2023 for the Indian team. The pacer made his first-class debut way back in 2015 as this is his maiden IPL contract.

Mukesh Kumar so far has played 23 T20s and picked 25 wickets with an economy rate of 7.20. He has been a part of the Indian A side for quite some time. In 33 first class games, he has picked 123 scalps averaging 21.49 with six 4 wicket and as many 5 wicket hauls. He picked 6/40 for India A against Bangladesh A in his last competitive game.
