#2 Quinton de Kock

The South African opener has been a regular member of the side across all 3 formats for quite some time now. He came to the fore after scoring 3 ODI hundreds on the trot against Indian in 2013. The left-hander had already scored 5 centuries by the time he reached 20 ODIs. Being just 24-year-old, de Kock has already featured in 20 Tests, 82 ODIs and 30 T20Is.

He possesses excellent averages across formats and is a reliable batsman. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been increasingly compared to the legendary Australian Adam Gilchrist for the similarities in the games of the two. With the superlative batting abilities, he is sure to be counted in the future amongst the best batsmen that the country ever produced.

With the advancement of the game, the number of youngsters taking up the game has gone up a few notches. There are plenty of young cricketers in the present era who have emerged on the big stage and are competing amongst the very best in the game. These players have what it takes to become what we call the "big things" in the game. Every team in the world possesses a player or two who have the potential to become extraordinary players.

Here are 5 such current cricketers who can become the future stars

#1 Hardik Pandya

The absolute sensation to emerge in Indian cricket of late has been Hardik Pandya. For the past year, the all-rounder has been a regular feature in the Indian ODI side. His ability to send the ball packing out of the ground is second to none in the cricketing globe. Call him at any stage and he'll start going after the bowler from the outset. His pace bowling has improved a lot recently. The 23-year-old has added a few yards to his bowling and is consistently picking up wickets. He has done wonders for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and is sure to be the future star for the country. A fast bowling all-rounder has been missing from India's scheme of things and Pandya has firmly stationed himself for that slot for the years to come.

#2 Quinton de Kock

The South African opener has been a regular member of the side across all 3 formats for quite some time now. He came to the fore after scoring 3 ODI hundreds on the trot against Indian in 2013. The left-hander had already scored 5 centuries by the time he reached 20 ODIs. Being just 24-year-old, de Kock has already featured in 20 Tests, 82 ODIs and 30 T20Is. He possesses excellent averages across formats and is a reliable batsman. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been increasingly compared to the legendary Australian Adam Gilchrist for the similarities in the games of the two. With the superlative batting abilities, he is sure to be counted in the future amongst the best batsmen that the country ever produced.

#3 Jasprit Bumrah

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has hit the limelights for his excellent bowling skills at the death. His yorkers, combined with slower deliveries are extremely difficult for the batsmen to score runs off him. Add to that, the weird action, he is literally a nightmare for the batsmen during the slog overs in limited overs cricket. What excites the most about his bowling is the consistency with which he can bowl the toe crushing yorkers. Playing along with Lasith Malinga for Mumbai Indians in the IPL has done a world of good for the 23-year-old. Very recently, he has done a far better job than the Sri Lankan maestro. Team India is blessed to have a reliable bowler like Bumrah in the wings.

#4 Kagiso Rabada

The South African came to the limelights after his brilliant show in the 2014 Under-19 World Cup. It didn't take Rabada a long time to make it to the national side and he was at it straight away. With the tall stature and the ability to bowl consistently over 140 clicks has earned him a prominent place in the Proteas squad across all 3 formats. The 22-year-old is already amongst the top 10 bowlers in the ICC rankings in both Tests and ODIs. For his excellent run in the international arena, he bagged a hefty bid of INR 5 crore from Delhi Daredevils to play in the IPL. With the prowess of Dale Steyn diminishing, he is going to be the spearhead for the country for a long time to come.

#5 Ben Stokes

One player who has been amongst the talking point in every format in the past couple of years is Ben Stokes. He was smashed by Carlos Brathwaite for 4 sixes in the last over of the final of the 2016 World T20 that took away the crown from England. But he has made a grand comeback and is amongst the best players in the world ever since. The all-rounder earned a whopping bid of INR 14.5 crore from Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL and he did complete justice to the price tag by taking his side to the playoffs. For his national side too, he has been a prominent member in every format and the 26-year-old could well end up being one of the best all-rounders the game has ever seen.
