Three Indian players who would have succeeded in The Hundred

It is well known that Indian players are not allowed to compete in leagues outside of India. However, allowing them to play would have opened several doors for Indian players. The Hundred is one of the most unique and talked about global competitions right now, and has gained a lot of interest from the audience. It would have been a fantastic chance for Indian players to compete under these conditions. Here are the Indian players who would have succeeded in The Hundred.

The Indian captain Rohit Sharma is one of the greatest white ball players of this generation. The 35-year-old has seen a great deal of success while representing India and his Indian T20 League side, Mumbai. He is the most successful captain in the history of the cash-rich league, having won the title five times.

The Hundred would have been an excellent opportunity for him as a player and captain. The challenge of a slightly shorter format would have been an excellent challenge for Rohit. The opening batter could have provided his team with quick starts, which would have come in handy in the format.

Indian ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has established himself as one of the top bowlers in the world. He has become a hot property in cricket, and any team would want to have him on their side. His length accuracy is remarkable, and the English conditions would have suited him well.

The Hundred would have been an excellent tournament for him because he enjoys playing in English conditions. He has also had a lot of success with his Indian T20 League team, Mumbai. It would have been intriguing to see which Hundred team he would have represented.

Yuzvendra Chahal

The white-ball specialist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal would have been a great addition to the Hundred. He is a very intelligent bowler who consistently produces excellent results with the ball regardless of the conditions. His recent efforts to take wickets have been outstanding.

Chahal was on the verge of being sacked from the Indian team owing to his poor performance, but his spell with Rajasthan in the Indian T20 League 2022 won him a place on the Indian side as well. He won the purple cap by taking the most wickets in the season.
