The Indian Premier League has a reputation for being the richest cricket league in the world, but over the past 8 years, IPL has helped shape the future of Indian cricket, revealing the enormous talent amongst the uncapped players of this cricket crazy nation who went unnoticed in the domestic circuit until then. While the IPL has given a platform to youngsters like Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Sandeep Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah in the past to get into the national team, we look at 5 uncapped players who are making a name for themselves in IPL 9.

This 25-year-old leggie has played just 3 first-class matches for Tamil Nadu but was picked up by the Rising Pune Supergiants for a whopping 4.5 crores on the back of his sensational performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Tournament in January where he picked up 10 wickets from the 23 overs he bowled at an economy of 5.52. Look at Murugan&#8217;s stats for IPL 2016- 6 wickets from 3 games at an astonishing strike rate of 12.0 at a miserly economy of 6.91. Another notable aspect is that he is playing under the leadership of MS Dhoni, future certainly looks bright for this lad.

Ever since Manan Vohra started donning the KXIP jersey, everybody knew there was something special about him. He flourished briefly under the captaincy of Adam Gilchrist but soon faded into the shadows due to his lack of consistency. Vohra is the only uncapped player in the top 10 run-getters of this year&#8217;s IPL. He has two 30+ scores plus a blazing fifty that he scored against RPS so far from 4 matches. Needless to say, Vohra has become the batting mainstay for Punjab after repeated failures of their middle order.

(Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

All of the cricketing fraternity witnessed the talent this young boy Sarfaraz Khan possesses when he announced his arrival with a swashbuckling 21-ball-44 against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2015. He was just 17 years old then and an year later, Sarfaraz comes with the invaluable experience of having represented India at the U19 World Cup for the second time. Over the last year Sarfaraz seems to have become fitter and faster in the field with precise throws coming in from the deep. His 10-ball 35 against Sunrisers, who have the best fast bowling attack in the IPL, was a visual treat for the viewers and proved that this young gun has the potential to serve Indian cricket in the near future.

Being the lesser-known Pandya is not easy, especially when your brother saved your nation from an embarrassing exit from the World Cup. However, being the tournament it is, IPL has sprung another surprise in the name of Krunal Pandya, the elder brother of Hardik Pandya. His late hitting has saved MI from positions of failure twice now against Gujarat Lions and Sunrisers. Krunal was also handy with the ball against Gujarat, ending with figures of 1/20 from 4 overs. He scored an unbeaten 49 against the Sunrisers and in the following game at home got rid of both AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli in the same over to prove his utility with the ball.

Karun Nair was one of the golden finds of legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid. After performing consistently for Karnataka, Nair was picked up by Rajasthan Royals in 2013 which proved to be a successful investment under the combination of Rahul Dravid and Paddy Upton. Since both of them are associated with Delhi Daredevils now, it was no surprise to see players like Nair, Sanju Samson, Rishab Pant being racked up by the Delhi-based franchise. While other youngsters like Samson and Shreyas Iyer have been cold lately, Karun Nair played a gem of an innings along with Quinton de Kock against the mighty RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, which is his home ground too. He is a vital cog for the Delhi outfit and needs to continue performing like this if DD are to make the playoffs after 2012.
