Top 10 Uncapped players who have earned the most in IPL
Some of India's uncapped players have set the stage on fire in auction and also on the field.
1. Krishnappa Gowtham – 20.6 crore
The Karnataka-born cricketer Krishnappa Gowtham is leading the list with a total income of 20.6 crore in IPL. He has been a consistent part of the cash-rich league for the past three seasons. Well known for his right-arm off-spin, inspired from none-other than Harbhajan Singh, Gowtham is also an explosive finisher who has proven his worth multiple times. Bought by Mumbai during the 2017 auction, he did not get a chance to represent the franchise during the season.
But his IPL career took a big leap when the Rajasthan Royals team bought him in 2018 auction. Then he became an automatic choice in their playing XI for the rest of the games. He was again released and this time around was bought by Kings XI Punjab. But unfortunately he didn’t get enough opportunities to play for the team.
More often, he is well remembered for the quickfire finishes he used to deliver for RR during his days with the team. In his 24-match career in IPL, until now, he has taken 13 wickets and scored 186 runs at a mammoth strike rate of 169. This itself proves why the franchises get behind him and consider him to be a worthy all-rounder to balance their line-up.
