IPL has hit off its tenth season and has already witnessed some enticing matches with jaw-dropping results. For the last 9 years, it has been a tournament which has provided the opportunity to lesser known cricketers to rub shoulders with some of the very best in the game which has taken the level of this competition to a whole new level.

This season, IPL bids have made the eyeballs roll around a lot due to the bidders taking much interest in the local uncapped players rather than for big international or capped names. Where experienced players like Ishant Sharma, Irfan Pathan and Imran Tahir remained unsold in the original auction, unknown commodities like Basil Thampi and T. Natarajan bagged whopping amounts which will surely be a turning point in their life. There was a whole fight around the tables for these fresh new talents.

As we have finished the 2nd week of IPL we have witnessed some exceptional all-round display by all the teams in the picture. Be it Lynn’s quickfire innings, Narine’s opening, Samson’s first century, Badree’s hattrick all have come in the correct time. But some players have been consistent enough to show their worth in the league and claim to deserve a national call soon.

As the season stretches more, hope these youngsters keep their eye on their dreams and cut through that extra edge to make it happen big for them. Like IPL has made it for talents like Hardik Pandya or Bumrah in the past, hope these new young talents too soon get their jersey’s and win it for the nation. Here is the list of 5 such players from this edition who has performed well in the first two weeks of the tournament.

Mention this name and you think of a young man with nerves of steel and a man worthy of playing under ample pressure. An aggressive middle-order batsman and an agile fielder Pandey hails from Uttaranchal. He plays for Karnataka at the domestic level and represented the state at Under -17 and Under-19 level and was also a part of the squad in Under-19 World cup 2008 at Malaysia.

Pandey’s coming in limelight started off when he became the first Indian to hit a century in Indian T20 league playing for Bangalore. The success followed on being leading run-scorer on Ranji season with 882 runs and average of 62.00 which led him to be bought by Kolkata knight Riders in 2014.Smashing an unbeaten 114 to propel RCB out of semifinals in IPL to take Kolkata all the way to finals that had attracted all the eyeballs.

Pandey proved that his IPL exploits were no flash in the pan as he went to play an enticing domestic season.Who can forget his century against Australia in that match winning bout! Though this young talent has not got enough chance to represent the national team. But his indomitable spirit has led him to continue his skills even in IPL 10. He is a big match player and has the ability to win matches for his team on his own. When KKR was precariously placed at 21-3 he built a superb partnership with Yusuf Pathan to take his team to victory. That was the highest partnership for the fourth wicket which keeps him in contention for the Orange Cap.

If Manish Pandey has registered a position in the race of orange cap this season, Nitish Rana from Mumbai too is not left behind. He too is no less than Pandey in his heroics as he is known to have saved his side time again with his sensible strokeplay. Where Hardik Pandya, his teammate is known to play audacious shots Rana comes down the lower middle order to build a fairytale innings well sculpted.

A first-class cricketer who plays for Delhi in domestic cricket is known to have been backed by Gambhir. An aggressive left-handed batsman who bowls part-time off-spin, Nitish Rana was one of the shining lights for Delhi in an otherwise dark 2015-16 season. He had stuck highest runs 225 in the tournament in Delhi’s run to Syed Mushtaq Ali semis. He had grabbed his IPL opportunity well this time, being consistent and classy with his shots.

Mumbai needed 92 runs off 64 balls against KKR, and had just lost their most consistent performer in the tournament, Nitish Rana came to rescue. “A fearless cricketer who likes to take on the bowlers right away.” That’s how Rohit described Rana after the Delhi youngster had played yet another stellar role for Mumbai this season. He has two match-winning fifties attached to his name at Wankhede. Mumbai haven&#8217;t lost when Rana has got past 40 this season and all three of Rana&#8217;s IPL fifties have come at No. 3.

What could be a dream start to the IPL season? Well, a century maybe! Whether it’s a superman Samson flying to save a six or hitting the first ton of the season, this youngster has been the talk of the week. He made his Twenty20 International debut for India against Zimbabwe on 19 July 2015 and plays for Kerala in Domestics. His impressive technique combined with an ability to time the ball first earned him a place in Kerala&#8217;s U-19 team and then into India’s U19 Asia cup in 2012.

Sanju Samson recorded his maiden T20 ton and alongside Sam Billings put on a 69-run stand for the second wicket that helped Delhi ease to their first win in this edition of the Indian Twenty20 competition against Rising Pune Supergiant. Also, Delhi went past a 200 score for the first time since April 2012 and He was replaced by Aditya Tare in the game. Samson targeted Pune&#8217;s seamers early in his innings with a series of drives through point and cover. He eventually departed after smashing a sensational 102 of 63 deliveries. The manner in which the 22-year-old prevented the ball from crossing the boundary rope got the whole stadium and all of his teammates erupted, shows his strength and zeal.

Another Delhi player, with an indomitable spirit and quick hands behind the stumps who is making headlines, is none other than the Wonder Kid Rishabh Pant.The 19-year-old got selected for his first T20I, India vs England in February 2017. He opened the batting for India in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, smashed a record-breaking fifty against Nepal and followed it up with a century against Namibia to help India qualify for the semi-finals. In the same day, he was bought by Delhi Daredevils with INR 1.9 crore, limelight didn&#8217;t sway them away from their ambition. Don’t get surprised to know this 19 yr old has a triple century against Maharashtra too.

The most highlighted innings of this edition came when he left behind his personal woes of losing his father and appeared in the game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He played sensational innings but his effort was not enough to get DD over the finishing line. He started off with a six and his admirable composure and a fierce ball-striking ability helped him muscle a quick half-century that kept Daredevils in the hunt in their chase of 158, even as the lower order collapsed. The lad just lost his dad and to see him play such shots was really

The lad just lost his dad and to see him play such shots was really commendable.Even last match against KKR his 38 off 16 ball was an innings to watch twice! The left-hander once again played his fearless cricket and showed the world why he is considered as one of the finest emerging talents in the world. He smashed the star pacer Umesh Yadav for 26 in an over which included 3 gigantic sixes and a couple of fours. He was simply a treat to the eyes and gave the home crowd so much to cheer.

Just when you thought too much batting talent, emerges a quick bowler on blocks. He earlier was in Kings XI Punjab and presently plays for Rising Pune Supergiant. He represents Mumbai in first-class cricket and has been sensational in the domestic format. An aggressive quick bowler, who can swing the ball away from the right-handers even while hitting the pitch hard. His commendable performance led Mumbai to win their 41st Ranji trophy in 2016.

Pune is in plight this season in IPL. But one name that stands out in the camp is Thakur indeed. His three-wicket haul against Bangalore led Pune to win after losing 3 on the bounce in this season. Thakur was more expensive but was equally effective with his slower balls, the knuckle ball in particular. He had Mandeep Singh caught behind in his first over. Then towards the end, he deceived Pawan Negi with a slower ball and had Stuart Binny bowled with an accurate Yorker.

He opened the batting for India in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, smashed a record-breaking fifty against Nepal and followed it up with a century against Namibia to help India qualify for the semi-finals. In the same day, he was bought by Delhi Daredevils with INR 1.9 crore, limelight didn&#8217;t sway them away from their ambition. Don’t get surprised to know this 19 yr old has a triple century against Maharashtra too.
The most highlighted innings of this edition came when he left behind his personal woes of losing his father and appeared in the game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He played sensational innings but his effort was not enough to get DD over the finishing line. He started off with a six and his admirable composure and a fierce ball-striking ability helped him muscle a quick half-century that kept Daredevils in the hunt in their chase of 158, even as the lower order collapsed. The lad just lost his dad and to see him play such shots was really
The lad just lost his dad and to see him play such shots was really commendable.Even last match against KKR his 38 off 16 ball was an innings to watch twice! The left-hander once again played his fearless cricket and showed the world why he is considered as one of the finest emerging talents in the world. He smashed the star pacer Umesh Yadav for 26 in an over which included 3 gigantic sixes and a couple of fours. He was simply a treat to the eyes and gave the home crowd so much to cheer.

Just when you thought too much batting talent, emerges a quick bowler on blocks. He earlier was in Kings XI Punjab and presently plays for Rising Pune Supergiant. He represents Mumbai in first-class cricket and has been sensational in the domestic format. An aggressive quick bowler, who can swing the ball away from the right-handers even while hitting the pitch hard. His commendable performance led Mumbai to win their 41st Ranji trophy in 2016.
Pune is in plight this season in IPL. But one name that stands out in the camp is Thakur indeed. His three-wicket haul against Bangalore led Pune to win after losing 3 on the bounce in this season. Thakur was more expensive but was equally effective with his slower balls, the knuckle ball in particular. He had Mandeep Singh caught behind in his first over. Then towards the end, he deceived Pawan Negi with a slower ball and had Stuart Binny bowled with an accurate Yorker.
