Ranveer Singh Says This Mumbai Indians Youngster Will Play For Indian Cricket Team In All Formats

Ranveer Singh's affinity with cricket goes beyond the screen. The actor recently played the role of 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev in the movie '83' - which was based on Indian cricket team's famous triumph. He has also been following the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and three youngsters have impressed him the most. Those three are Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik, Mumbai Indians middle-order batter Tilak Varma and Lucknow Super Giants batter Ayush Badoni.

"Tilak Verma, Umran Malik and Aayush Badoni have big future prospects. It is exciting to see them play. I think all these players are the future of Indian cricket. Especially Tilak, he has played several good and mature innings for Mumbai Indians in the most difficult situations. I am seeing him play for Team India in all three formats very soon," Ranveer Singh was quoted as saying in a statement issued by Star Sports,

Ranveer also praised RCB captain Faf du Plessis for leading his team from the front. "Du Plessis is one of the most exciting batsmen in the world. It is a pleasure to watch him play. When he opens the mouth of his bat it is poetry in motion," he said.
