Will Tom banton be the next big superstar in world cricket?

Looks like good player, I don't think India has any young players who are clean strikers. 50 of 16 balls is just great.

 

If talented young hitters are there in India they would get lot of exposure too.

Shaw 

Devdutt 

Samson

Pant

Abdul samad ( will hold on him for few more months but definately great ability)

 

50 in 16 is kind of rare thing...may or may not happen with even the biggest striker around the world but these kids can get 50 in 20-22 balls which is not bad either.

We shudnt look at comparing who can outdo banton but we shud look at who is best among all we have.

If our media and pundits were equally effective - Devdutt Padikkal should have gotten equal if not more attention.

 

India does have a problem of riches when it comes to batting talent. Any other cricket playing country and likes of Shaw/ Gill and Padikkal would already be playing or in the 14 at least!

 

Devdutt has gotten enough attention, banton is playing in a global league as of now thats the diff. We wud have noticed had devdutt gone in auction n teams wud have definately broken banks for him.

As of now its early for devdutt to get in team, im one of his big advocate but its early . Let him keep playing domestic n do well on India-A level n ipl. There are enough in line before him. Even if he gets selected he ll be on bench and at his age he shud play max cricket. Playing domestic for few years is not bad as it helps a player grow only. Im not even disappointed with gill not being picked coz atleast he is playing rather warming bench in indian team.

I don't think most of them have this guy's potential in hitting.You need that free flow in hitting.Devdutt maybe. I have not seen Samad

If you need to be best you need to have best talent too.You cannot expect Fiat to compete with Ferrari.

Only Indian batsmen who I have seen had that  free flowing ability to hit big shots are Yuvraj and Rohit but Rohit takes a while to get going. If any young kid has that kind of talent he will be fast tracked to Indian team.

As i said we shudnt compare

Devdutt has the ability of gayle n yuvi

Shaw of someone like sehwag

Samad is one of the cleanest strikers we have thread on him. 

 

All these sehwag yuvi rohit gayle took there time to become beast. Even banton has to translate this in international as of now....its a league as of now, in ipl pant has played so many such innings

I think comparison is part and parcel of life specially people who are passionate about a subject will obviously do that. As long as it is constructive in nature and part of understanding strengths and application areas it's fine. However comparing for the sake of ridiculing and discarding is not needed.

Few Days ago Dean jones said same about Tom banton, England already giving him Chances in t20 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guy looks damn exciting . Can he be a threat to joe root in ODI Squad as others looks very strong in the team

 

 

Such a clean striker. 

 

God knows what england is doing right now, their LOI batting talent is amazing.

Who said we should not compare. They are playing global tournaments, if they have to win them they have compete with the best.

No Pant does not have this guy's range. All others are still in infancy stages of their careers.It is not even worth bringing them up. Not every young guy will become a star.You need to have talent plus drive to become star. Shaw is not Sehwag.

have u seen pant play in IPL- watch these innings before saying that , bantom hitting is in PP this pant hitting after PP. He is literally murdering rashid khan, bhuvi, shakib, bumrah 

just look at those shots most of them are ridiculous

Even Rahul has hit 14 ball 50 against bolt and Mishra who have played international. Shaw has made 2-3 22 balls 50 and pant has career Sr of 162 in Ipl. It's just about giving them right position to bat on. If Dhwan and Rohit LL keep striking at 110-120 in PP we ain't gonna win t20 wc

yea even rahul has done that faster then banton against boult, mishra , shami 

pant will also come into his own soon

 

TM shud make them feel secure n champions, this is where i miss ganguly the captain. That guy use to make these players feel special at the end of the day cricket is half about how a players feels mentally. 

These Devdutt, Shaw, Pant, Rahul all are as devastating as these roy, banton n all ......

True, Ganguly had that habit of bringing up Young guns and backing them up but based on merit. He was able to balance experience and youth very well and neither group felt insecure because of the other. Unfortunately in last 7-8 years we are getting back some of those old 90s habits of seniority protection and lobbying.

yup he was a good motivator and use to tell his player they ll get 15-20 game run 

here Rahul knows he is always 2-3 failures away even in a format in which is record is one of the best
