2021 was a banner year for Amit Khatri, as he racewalked his way into the record books. As a 17-year-old, Amit became the first Indian racewalker to secure a podium finish at the World Athletics U20 Championships, clocking 43:17.94 in the Men\u2019s 10k event.<\/p>\n
Now with his potential personified, the world\u2019s fastest U-20 race walker will be hoping to pump his reputation further in the forthcoming 2022 Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

Despite his young age, Parth is already a frequent member of the national team and there is no doubt that 2022 looks to be another important year for the youngster as he will be aiming to further solidify his name in the team.<\/p>\n

The one thing that the Indian cricket team fell short of in the past seven years is someone capable of performing to the peak level in crucial matches on a bigger stage, 17-year-old Nishant Sindhu is one such talent among many that are certainly worth keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n
Nishant\u2019s all-around repertoire was on full display during the ICC U-19 World Cup \u2013 from batting to bowling and captaincy. With the bat, he scored 140 runs in five matches, including the crucial fifty he scored under pressure to help India beat England in the final. With the ball, he picked up 6 wickets; recording best figures of 4-19 against Uganda. He also displayed excellent captaincy skills in the absence of Yash Dhull to lead the team to two impressive victories \u2013 a strong testament to his ability and potential to excel in the cut-throat nature of the sport.<\/p>\n

Image Source – The Quint<\/em><\/p><\/div>\nWhen it comes to the best weightlifters in the country, it is hard to look past Jeremy Lalrinnunga, and rightly so. The 19-year-old has been an outstanding performer ever since winning India\u2019s first gold medal in the Youth Olympic Games in 2018.<\/p>\n
The Mizoram youngster has put together with outstanding totals, lifting the heaviest weight in the men\u2019s 67kg category, and even took a Youth World Record with 134kg in snatch and 163 in clean and jerk, combining 297 in total.<\/p>\n
He was backed by many to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, though his chances took a hit, and now he set his sights on performing well at the forthcoming IWF Junior, Youth, and Senior World Championships followed by the 2022 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. It is safe to say that expectations are extremely high whenever Jeremy is competing, and for that reason alone, he is definitely someone you want on your weightlifting radar.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old does not have too much-recorded game time, due to no matches played during the 2020 and 2021 seasons of the Asian Tour. Having only played one full year on the Asian Tour and also registered a win on the PGTI Tour in 2019, the youngster will be playing multiple tours such as Korn Ferry Tour with the aim to make it through the Q-School which should be a superb stage for him to showcase what he can do at the pro league in the USA.<\/p>\n
