Since the IPL has been suspended and has been halted at a midway stage, there is not much action to look up to in the world of cricket at the moment. However, there have been some great debutants who have caught the eyes of many with their splendid performances, which can be hot prospects for discussion about future cricket stars. Some debutants who impressed are mentioned as follows.
