Suresh Raina, a former star for CSK, selected a 15-year-old player from the best rookies available in the IPL 2023 auction

At each and every year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, a number of unheralded players end up with lucrative contracts from various clubs.

A few more extraordinary talents have come to the forefront in the lead-up to the auction for the Indian Premier League 2023, and the cricketing community has great hopes for them.

Suresh Raina, one of the players with the most runs scored in the history of the Indian Premier League, provided a list of names of other outstanding young players for whom he has high hopes.

The list that Raina compiled included a number of up-and-coming cricketers from India, but it also includes an off-spinner from Afghanistan who is only 15 years old and who garnered a special mention from Raina.

In his capacity as an expert on Jio Cinema, Raina chose the names Mujtaba Yousuf and Samarth Vyas from the Indian domestic contingent in advance of the auction. But the former cricket player is also placing a lot of stock in 6 feet and 2 inches tall Allah Mohamad.

“I was in the Syed Mushtaq Ali with Mujtaba (Yousuf), who was also a player. He bowls rapid left-arm deliveries and possesses a decent motion as well as good control over his swing.

Then there is Samarth Vyas from Saurashtra, who just recently won the Vijay Hazare Trophy and has scored at a strike rate that is over 150. Vyas was one of the top five run scorers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and he just recently won that trophy.

He has a lot of promise for the years to come. However, keep an eye out for Allah and Muhammad. He stands 6 feet two inches tall and is 15 years old; an off spinner with a large heart describes him best. Afghanistan is producing a great deal of human talent, “Raina stated.

Allah Mohammad is only 15 years old, yet he has already gained a significant amount of attention. The fact that the Afghan prodigy is the youngest player to have registered for the auction puts him on the radar of many franchises, particularly those who are thinking about the long haul.

On the day of the auction itself, the only way to know for sure if he was successful in negotiating a deal with an IPL club or not is to wait till then.
