India's T20I batting lineup has been a force to reckon with, but the IPL 2025 season has uncovered some extraordinary new talent that could add fresh dimensions to the national side. Three uncapped batters have made compelling cases for selection through their outstanding performances.

3. Abhishek Porel (Delhi Capitals)

Matches: 7 | Runs: 174 | Average: 29.00 | Strike Rate: 147.46 | 4s: 18 | 6s: 6

Starting our trio of emerging talents is Delhi Capitals' Abhishek Porel. While his numbers (174 runs in 7 matches) might seem modest compared to the others, Porel's batting versatility and wicketkeeping skills offer something unique to selectors.

With a strike rate of 147.46 and good boundary-hitting ability, Porel has shown he can adapt to different match situations. His left-handed batting provides valuable variety to any lineup, and his ability to play both aggressive and measured innings makes him a strong contender for India's upper middle order.

2. Priyansh Arya (Punjab Kings)

Matches: 7 | Runs: 232 | Average: 33.14 | Strike Rate: 209.01 | 4s: 21 | 6s: 17

If there's one player who has captured the imagination of cricket fans this IPL season, it's Priyansh Arya. His astronomical strike rate of 209.01 places him among the most explosive batters in the tournament. In 7 matches, Arya has hammered 232 runs with an impressive boundary count.

What sets Arya apart is his fearless approach against quality bowling. His ability to maintain a high strike rate without compromising consistency makes him an ideal top-order accelerator – a role that could complement India's more established batters. With T20 cricket increasingly valuing batting impact over traditional metrics, Arya represents the new age of Indian batting.

1. B Sai Sudharsan (Gujarat Titans)

Matches: 7 | Runs: 365 | Average: 52.14 | Strike Rate: 153.36 | 4s: 36 | 6s: 14

Sai Sudharsan has emerged as one of the most consistent performers in IPL 2025, amassing 365 runs in just 7 matches for Gujarat Titans. What makes his case particularly strong is his impressive average of 52.14 coupled with a strike rate of 153.36. The left-hander has demonstrated exceptional technique against both pace and spin, making him a versatile option at the top of the order.

Sudharsan's ability to find boundaries while maintaining a solid foundation makes him a perfect candidate for the anchor role, something India has occasionally struggled with in T20Is. Having already impressed in domestic cricket, his IPL performances suggest he's ready for the international stage.
