Legendary India National Cricket Team leg-spinner Anil Kumble and former India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel have named two young cricketers each, who they feel will be the future superstars of Indian cricket.

Kumble lavished praise on the left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh and named him as the future superstar in the bowling department. He added that the young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has performed brilliantly for India and he will be the next batting superstar.

“Having worked closely with someone like Arshdeep, it’s wonderful to see him grow into what he’s done for India. I would look at Arshdeep as the next superstar bowler coming through,” said Kumble on JioCinema.

“From a batting perspective, Ishan Kishan is someone who’s been wonderful in the opportunities he’s got. He got a double hundred and he’s someone who I think will be a superstar,” Kumble said.

Parthiv, meanwhile, feels that the Jammu and Kashmir express pacer Umran Malik will be the next superstar of Indian cricket in the bowling department while the young batter Tilak Varma will be the future batting superstar.

The 37-year-old showered praise on the Mumbai Indians (MI) batter, Tilak, saying that the youngster is a supremely talented prospect and he is someone who can become the leader of the side.

“He’s (Umran) quick and bowling well and already played for India. He’s someone who can be a superstar. Batting-wise, having seen Tilak Varma in the last couple of years, I had the opportunity to scout him and see the cricketer he has become. We’ve seen his batting ability, and he has the ability to go on and lead the side. He’s someone who comes across as a leader,” Patel said.
