Best Uncapped playing XI in IPL 2020
IPL gives them a proper platform to perform and get noticed by the selectors.
5. Sarfaraz Khan (KXIP)
When Sarfaraz Khan played his maiden IPL match for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Chennai Super Kings back in 2015, he was the youngest to feature in an IPL game. He came into limelight when he scored 211 runs at an average of 70.33 playing for India in the 2014 u-19 Cricket World Cup.
Seeing his astonishing performances for India u-19, he was roped in by RCB at the 2015 auction. He utilised his limited batting opportunities by scoring at higher rates. He maintained a strike rate of 156.33 in his maiden IPL season. While walking back to the pavilion after scoring an unbeaten knock of 45 off 21 balls, skipper Virat Kohli bowed in front of the 17-year-old and it remains as an unforgettable moment.
Despite his cameos for the team, he was dropped from the playing XI due to fitness issues. Later he was released by the franchise and was roped in by KXIP in the 2019 auction. With the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Mandeep Singh and Mayank Agarwal in the middle order, it will be difficult for this young lad to make into the XI.
