The auctions for IPL 2018 saw young talent meeting its real worth. Some uncapped players received handsome paycheques as they got sold for crores. We have tried to formulate team from these uncapped talents. We call it the IPL UNCAPPED XI.
Here’s our team
Openers
Prithvi Shaw
Darcy Short
Prithvi Shaw, The captain who lead India’s way to the U19 World Cup makes a perfect opener for this team. Darcy Short the BBL sensation who went for 4 crores in the IPL auctions. Short is an explosive batsman and Prithvi Shaw knows how to build his innings smartly. For this IPL uncapped XI this forms a perfect opening pair.
Middle Order
One Down: Shubhman Gill
Two Down: Nitish Rana
Three Down: Ishan Kishan (wk)
Four Down: Rahul Tripathi
Shubhman Gill has impressed everyone with his batting. He is the man of the tournament in the U19 World Cup that India won. Nitish Rana is another great batting talent who contributed to the Mumbai Indians camp heavily in the last season.
Ishan Kishan is the only uncapped wicket keeper batsman sold in the IPL auctions 2018. So, we don’t have a choice but to put Ishan Kishan here.
All Rounders
Krunal Pandya (Captain)
Krishnappa Gowtham
Krunal Pandya is known for some big hitting and sharp spin bowling. He’s the guy with the high utility in this team and carries a lot of experience. He’s been a key player for the Mumbai Indians and given his potentials we choose him as the captain of this team.
Bowlers
Jofra Archer
Kamlesh Nagarkoti
Shivam Mavi
Archer is a BBL sensation and has gone for a hefty price in the IPL. While the other two pacers in Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi have lead India’s pace attack throughout India’s campaign in the Under 19 World Cup. Both these pacers have amply impressed everyone and Kamlesh Nagarkoti has hit the 149 mark in the World Cup leaving everyone stunned.
