CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: As IPL 2025 heats up with standout performances, fans and cricket experts are rallying behind an emerging star, urging the BCCI to give him an immediate call-up to India’s T20I squad. After delivering a match-winning performance and showcasing consistent brilliance, the player is being hailed as a “straight pick” for the national team.
Social media is abuzz with calls for selectors to avoid delays that have affected previous talents. Several former cricketers have echoed the sentiment, stating that India’s bench strength must be rewarded with timely recognition. “If someone performs under pressure on the IPL stage, he’s ready for the international spotlight,” one analyst remarked.
While the BCCI has remained tight-lipped about upcoming selections, sources indicate internal discussions are underway. The push for faster transitions from IPL to Team India is not new, but this year, the demand seems louder and more united.
This situation reignites the debate about India’s talent pipeline and whether exceptional IPL performers should immediately find a place in the national side—especially in the shortest format where impact matters more than experience. All eyes are now on the selectors to see if they act on the groundswell of support and reward performance over pedigree.
