Indian Premier League (IPL) brings the finest talents all around the globe under a single roof. The popularity and viewership of the tournament has always seen a positive hike in the graph. The BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council) has announced that the viewership increased by 28% in this season and given the fact there was no cricket for a long time, it wasn&#8217;t surprising.

The IPL is very renowned for the pay scale too when compared with other leagues around the world. We have seen in auctions, teams fighting to own best international and Indian players and most interestingly, have seen franchises looking mostly for the uncapped Indian domestic players to add the necessary balance to the team.

Even though we know that the players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are earning a huge amount every season, we also have some unsung players (uncapped players) who have turned around their fortunes by representing these franchises.

Let us have look at the list of top 10 uncapped players who have earned the most from IPL (Amount considered is in INR):

The classic leg-spinner from Haryana <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-rahul-tewatia-and-khaleel-ahmed-get-into-a-heated-exchange-srh-skipper-david-warner-intervenes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rahul Tewatia</strong></a> was one of the most valuable players of the latest edition. His performance with both bat and bowl was equally matching to that of any world-class players. The season saw him have 10 wickets and score 255 runs at an average of 42.

His match-winning performance against KXIP was a moment of brilliance which no one will ever forget. A world-class bowler of Sheldon Cottrell&#8217;s calibre getting hit for 5 sixes in an over was a rare scene to witness.

Tewatia is a great fielder as well which adds to his value. Even though he has been in auction and been traded to teams such as KXIP and DC, it will be a nice moment to look at when he comes under the hammer, the next time.

The pacer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-nca-spent-more-than-inr-1-crore-on-rehabilitation-and-recovery-of-shivam-mavi-and-kamlesh-nagarkoti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kamlesh Nagarkoti</strong></a> first headlined the pages when he took the first-ever hat-trick for Rajasthan in the domestic circuit in 2017 Vijay Hazare trophy. He was again in the limelight when he consistently clicked the 140+ kmph mark for India U19 in 2018. His sheer pace and accuracy was a talking point to all cricketing fraternity.

Later the same year, he was bought by KKR for a price of 3.2 crores. However, he did not play a single match due to injury concerns. Despite that, he was again retained by KKR for the next season in 2019. He was again ruled out of the tournament due to back injury.

Finally, he made his long-awaited debut for KKR in 2020 and performed at an average level. However, he is considered as a future prospect and teams will be eager to invest on such a huge talent to build a future fast bowling line up.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/loss-of-a-loved-one-hurts-sachin-tendulkar-praises-nitish-rana-and-mandeep-singh-for-playing-amidst-family-tragedies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Nitish Rana</strong></a> is an aggressive left-handed batsman who also bowls part-time off-spin. He came into the limelight in 2015-16 season when he played for Delhi in domestic competitions and amassed runs for his team in an aggressive style.

He was not just being aggressive in his approach but also emerged as one of the top run-getters of the season. This led to him getting a call to Mumbai squad where he played reliably and was awarded more matches by the franchise. Then he was snapped up by KKR in 2018, where he is a regular face in playing XI and a part of team strategy.

Rana is considered to be a complete package, as he has the ability to roll his arm when required to deliver some crucial wickets. His knocks at crucial times have awarded him a badge of Mr Dependable for KKR during this period.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-462450" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ankit-Singh-Rajpoot.jpg" alt="Ankit Singh Rajpoot" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-462450" class="wp-caption-text">Ankit Singh Rajpoot. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The UP born fast bowler Ankit Rajpoot has been a familiar face in the IPL. Even though his IPL career has seen ups and downs, he has been a very reliable player for UP in domestic seasons. His performance in the debut season of 31 wickets in just 7 matches is a validation of the point.

Bought by CSK in 2013, Ankit announced his arrival by bagging the wicket of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wholl-bat-at-four-when-virat-kohli-goes-ricky-ponting-shoots-some-vital-questions-for-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ricky Ponting</strong></a> on debut. But lack of consistency sidelined him and was then taken by KKR in 2016. But even here, he had an average outing. He started to be a part of playing XI when he arrived in KXIP in 2018 where he registered his best figures too.

His performance of 5/14 against SRH was the best by an uncapped player. After joining hands with RR, again he was in and out due to the bench strength of the squad. None the less he has always been a franchise favourite.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-458825" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Varun-Chakravarthy-3.jpg" alt="Varun Chakravarthy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-458825" class="wp-caption-text">Varun Chakravarthy. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The mystery spinner of KKR <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/varun-chakravarthy-shares-a-fanboy-moment-with-thalapathy-vijay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Varun Chakravarthy</strong></a> was recently in the spotlight when he got his maiden call for team India against Australia. But an unfortunate injury ruled him out of the squad. He received his call on the back of some excellent performance in both domestic and IPL stages.

His 5/20 against Chennai was a gem of a performance to watch. He caught the attention of media when an uncapped player, was bought for a huge 8.4 crore price by KXIP in 2019 auction. But the year didn’t go well for him with regards to the performance, making him the bowler to concede highest runs on debut.

In 2020 he was bought by KKR, where he got the opportunity to prove his worth. His performance of 17 wickets from 13 matches was one of the best by the spinners in a season. Expected to be retained by KKR for 2021 edition, the Tamil Nadu leggie is believed to perform soon for India.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-453109" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Suryakumar-Yadav.jpg" alt="Suryakumar Yadav" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-453109" class="wp-caption-text">Suryakumar Yadav. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Another talent from Mumbai, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/suryakumar-yadav-should-have-been-a-part-of-team-india-for-australia-tour-feels-brian-lara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Suryakumar Yadav</strong></a> is soon expected to break into the national squad due to his consistency and power hitting. His performance along with Ishan Kishan in 2020 IPL edition saw Mumbai lift the championship and his contributions were extremely crucial.

He has been in sublime form, especially in IPL for the last 3 years averaging about 36 and at a strike rate of 140. Yadav was bought by KKR in the 2014 IPL auctions as they were trying to rebuild the team by focusing on young talent. He broke the headlines in IPL 2015 for his match-winning 46 off 20 balls against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens.

Since then he never had to look back and be an automatic selection in the playing XI. He was the Most Valuable uncapped player in 2018 auction when he was bought by Mumbai, and for some good reason. Yadav will be a strong contender to break the auction records again if he is released by Mumbai in the next season.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-461388" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Deepak-Hooda.jpg" alt="Deepak Hooda" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-461388" class="wp-caption-text">Deepak Hooda. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The big hitter from Baroda <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-started-my-cricket-career-as-a-wicketkeeper-batsman-kings-xi-punjabs-all-rounder-deepak-hooda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Deepak Hooda</strong></a> has always been playing the role of a finisher for the franchises he has represented due to his ability to clear the fence with ease. He caught everyone’s attention in his second IPL match ever when he scored a thrilling 54 off 25 balls. He was again in the limelight when he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 auction for a whopping 4.2 crores.

His ability to be score runs quickly and to roll his arm in between for the captain makes him an ideal candidate to make it to the XI of any team. And no wonder franchises have invested on him for the same reason. His consistent performance in domestic circuit has led to the franchises looking for him in the auction.

The last innings he played for KXIP in 2020 edition against CSK was an absolute showcase of his talent. The SRH winning 2016 championship had Hooda playing a pivotal role for the team. But he is yet to play to his potential according to many and if given a certain role, he will definitely flourish.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The name <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ishan-kishan-is-a-hot-contender-for-indias-wicketkeeper-batsman-slot-msk-prasad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ishan Kishan</strong></a> will be popping in many fans&#8217; minds when they listen uncapped player. The master class knocks played by this little genius in 2020 edition of IPL are still fresh in our minds. The former U19 Indian captain was in best of his form this season for Mumbai Indians and played a vital role in them winning the IPL.

Added into the Gujarat Lions squad in 2016 season, the Jharkhand star couldn’t leave up to the expectations in his debut season. But after being bought by Mumbai, in 2018, he has changed his fortunes by being a part of the team consistently and grabbing the opportunities presented to him.

2020 was so far the best season for Ishan Kishan. He amassed a mammoth 516 runs from 14 innings and that too at a strike rate of 146. If not retained by Mumbai in next season, we should get ready to witness a tug of war between the franchises to bag this future prospect of team India.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-301692" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Manan-Vohra.jpg" alt="Manan Vohra" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-301692" class="wp-caption-text">Manan Vohra. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Manan Vohra impressed everyone when he made his debut for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kxip-co-owner-ness-wadia-opines-on-the-future-of-kl-rahul-and-anil-kumble-in-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kings XI Punjab</strong></a> in the 2013 season with an outstanding knock of 43 runs from just 23 balls. And it was just one of the many knocks to come for the fans. The 2014 season of IPL saw him taking the spotlight when he took the team to the finals.

He was bought in auction by KXIP in 2013 and since then was part of the team throughout his tenure until 2017 and was able to deliver some fascinating innings during this period. Later in 2018 auction, he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he hardly got any chance to play. And since 2019 he has been part of the Rajasthan Royals, and has been warming the bench.

His 67-run knock in 2014 and 95 off 50 balls against Hyderabad in 2017 are a couple of his blistering knocks which were really a treat to watch. He will be expecting the 2021 season to change his fortune and hoping to get to play more matches for whichever team he features.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-424718" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Krishnappa-Gowtham.jpg" alt="Krishnappa Gowtham" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-424718" class="wp-caption-text">Krishnappa Gowtham. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

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 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-time-is-very-near-where-virat-kohli-will-be-lifting-the-world-cup-harbhajan-singh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Harbhajan Singh</strong></a>, 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.

<h3>4. Deepak Hooda – 16.9 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_461388" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-461388" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-461388" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Deepak-Hooda.jpg" alt="Deepak Hooda" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-461388" class="wp-caption-text">Deepak Hooda.

<p>The big hitter from Baroda <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-started-my-cricket-career-as-a-wicketkeeper-batsman-kings-xi-punjabs-all-rounder-deepak-hooda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Deepak Hooda</strong></a> has always been playing the role of a finisher for the franchises he has represented due to his ability to clear the fence with ease. He caught everyone’s attention in his second IPL match ever when he scored a thrilling 54 off 25 balls. He was again in the limelight when he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 auction for a whopping 4.2 crores.</p>
<p>His ability to be score runs quickly and to roll his arm in between for the captain makes him an ideal candidate to make it to the XI of any team. And no wonder franchises have invested on him for the same reason. His consistent performance in domestic circuit has led to the franchises looking for him in the auction.</p>
<p>The last innings he played for KXIP in 2020 edition against CSK was an absolute showcase of his talent. The SRH winning 2016 championship had Hooda playing a pivotal role for the team. But he is yet to play to his potential according to many and if given a certain role, he will definitely flourish.</p>
<h3>3. Ishan Kishan – 19.3 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_458402" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-458402" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-458402" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ishan-Kishan-and-MS-Dhoni.jpg" alt="Ishan Kishan and MS Dhoni" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-458402" class="wp-caption-text">Ishan Kishan and MS Dhoni.

<p>The name <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ishan-kishan-is-a-hot-contender-for-indias-wicketkeeper-batsman-slot-msk-prasad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ishan Kishan</strong></a> will be popping in many fans’ minds when they listen uncapped player. The master class knocks played by this little genius in 2020 edition of IPL are still fresh in our minds. The former U19 Indian captain was in best of his form this season for Mumbai Indians and played a vital role in them winning the IPL.</p>
<p>Added into the Gujarat Lions squad in 2016 season, the Jharkhand star couldn’t leave up to the expectations in his debut season. But after being bought by Mumbai, in 2018, he has changed his fortunes by being a part of the team consistently and grabbing the opportunities presented to him.</p>
<p>2020 was so far the best season for Ishan Kishan. He amassed a mammoth 516 runs from 14 innings and that too at a strike rate of 146. If not retained by Mumbai in next season, we should get ready to witness a tug of war between the franchises to bag this future prospect of team India.</p>
<h3>2. Manan Vohra – 19.8 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_301692" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-301692" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-301692" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Manan-Vohra.jpg" alt="Manan Vohra" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-301692" class="wp-caption-text">Manan Vohra. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Manan Vohra impressed everyone when he made his debut for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kxip-co-owner-ness-wadia-opines-on-the-future-of-kl-rahul-and-anil-kumble-in-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kings XI Punjab</strong></a> in the 2013 season with an outstanding knock of 43 runs from just 23 balls. And it was just one of the many knocks to come for the fans. The 2014 season of IPL saw him taking the spotlight when he took the team to the finals.</p>
<p>He was bought in auction by KXIP in 2013 and since then was part of the team throughout his tenure until 2017 and was able to deliver some fascinating innings during this period. Later in 2018 auction, he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he hardly got any chance to play. And since 2019 he has been part of the Rajasthan Royals, and has been warming the bench.</p>
<p>His 67-run knock in 2014 and 95 off 50 balls against Hyderabad in 2017 are a couple of his blistering knocks which were really a treat to watch. He will be expecting the 2021 season to change his fortune and hoping to get to play more matches for whichever team he features.</p>
<h3>1. Krishnappa Gowtham – 20.6 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_424718" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-424718" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-424718" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Krishnappa-Gowtham.jpg" alt="Krishnappa Gowtham" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-424718" class="wp-caption-text">Krishnappa Gowtham. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-time-is-very-near-where-virat-kohli-will-be-lifting-the-world-cup-harbhajan-singh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Harbhajan Singh</strong></a>, 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Indian Premier League (IPL) brings the finest talents all around the globe under a single roof. The popularity and viewership of the tournament has always seen a positive hike in the graph. The BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council) has announced that the viewership increased by 28% in this season and given the fact there was no cricket for a long time, it wasn&#8217;t surprising.</p>
<p>The IPL is very renowned for the pay scale too when compared with other leagues around the world. We have seen in auctions, teams fighting to own best international and Indian players and most interestingly, have seen franchises looking mostly for the uncapped Indian domestic players to add the necessary balance to the team.</p>
<p>Even though we know that the players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are earning a huge amount every season, we also have some unsung players (uncapped players) who have turned around their fortunes by representing these franchises.</p>
<h3>Let us have look at the list of top 10 uncapped players who have earned the most from IPL (Amount considered is in INR):</h3>
<h3>10. Rahul Tewatia &#8211; 9.45 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_456552" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-456552" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-456552" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rahul-Tewatia-of-RR.jpg" alt="Rahul Tewatia" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-456552" class="wp-caption-text">Rahul Tewatia. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The classic leg-spinner from Haryana <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-rahul-tewatia-and-khaleel-ahmed-get-into-a-heated-exchange-srh-skipper-david-warner-intervenes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rahul Tewatia</strong></a> was one of the most valuable players of the latest edition. His performance with both bat and bowl was equally matching to that of any world-class players. The season saw him have 10 wickets and score 255 runs at an average of 42.</p>
<p>His match-winning performance against KXIP was a moment of brilliance which no one will ever forget. A world-class bowler of Sheldon Cottrell&#8217;s calibre getting hit for 5 sixes in an over was a rare scene to witness.</p>
<p>Tewatia is a great fielder as well which adds to his value. Even though he has been in auction and been traded to teams such as KXIP and DC, it will be a nice moment to look at when he comes under the hammer, the next time.</p>
<h3>9. Kamlesh Nagarkoti &#8211; 9.6 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_450916" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-450916" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-450916" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kamlesh-Nagarkoti.jpg" alt="Kamlesh Nagarkoti" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-450916" class="wp-caption-text">Kamlesh Nagarkoti. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The pacer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-nca-spent-more-than-inr-1-crore-on-rehabilitation-and-recovery-of-shivam-mavi-and-kamlesh-nagarkoti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kamlesh Nagarkoti</strong></a> first headlined the pages when he took the first-ever hat-trick for Rajasthan in the domestic circuit in 2017 Vijay Hazare trophy. He was again in the limelight when he consistently clicked the 140+ kmph mark for India U19 in 2018. His sheer pace and accuracy was a talking point to all cricketing fraternity.</p>
<p>Later the same year, he was bought by KKR for a price of 3.2 crores. However, he did not play a single match due to injury concerns. Despite that, he was again retained by KKR for the next season in 2019. He was again ruled out of the tournament due to back injury.</p>
<p>Finally, he made his long-awaited debut for KKR in 2020 and performed at an average level. However, he is considered as a future prospect and teams will be eager to invest on such a huge talent to build a future fast bowling line up.</p>
<h3>8. Nitish Rana &#8211; 10.1 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_458829" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-458829" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-458829" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Nitish-Rana-and-Sunil-Narine.jpg" alt="Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-458829" class="wp-caption-text">Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/loss-of-a-loved-one-hurts-sachin-tendulkar-praises-nitish-rana-and-mandeep-singh-for-playing-amidst-family-tragedies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Nitish Rana</strong></a> is an aggressive left-handed batsman who also bowls part-time off-spin. He came into the limelight in 2015-16 season when he played for Delhi in domestic competitions and amassed runs for his team in an aggressive style.</p>
<p>He was not just being aggressive in his approach but also emerged as one of the top run-getters of the season. This led to him getting a call to Mumbai squad where he played reliably and was awarded more matches by the franchise. Then he was snapped up by KKR in 2018, where he is a regular face in playing XI and a part of team strategy.</p>
<p>Rana is considered to be a complete package, as he has the ability to roll his arm when required to deliver some crucial wickets. His knocks at crucial times have awarded him a badge of Mr Dependable for KKR during this period.</p>
<h3>7. Ankit Rajpoot &#8211; 12.1 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_462450" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-462450" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-462450" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ankit-Singh-Rajpoot.jpg" alt="Ankit Singh Rajpoot" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-462450" class="wp-caption-text">Ankit Singh Rajpoot. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The UP born fast bowler Ankit Rajpoot has been a familiar face in the IPL. Even though his IPL career has seen ups and downs, he has been a very reliable player for UP in domestic seasons. His performance in the debut season of 31 wickets in just 7 matches is a validation of the point.</p>
<p>Bought by CSK in 2013, Ankit announced his arrival by bagging the wicket of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wholl-bat-at-four-when-virat-kohli-goes-ricky-ponting-shoots-some-vital-questions-for-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ricky Ponting</strong></a> on debut. But lack of consistency sidelined him and was then taken by KKR in 2016. But even here, he had an average outing. He started to be a part of playing XI when he arrived in KXIP in 2018 where he registered his best figures too.</p>
<p>His performance of 5/14 against SRH was the best by an uncapped player. After joining hands with RR, again he was in and out due to the bench strength of the squad. None the less he has always been a franchise favourite.</p>
<h3>6. Varun Chakravarthy &#8211; 12.4 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_458825" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-458825" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-458825" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Varun-Chakravarthy-3.jpg" alt="Varun Chakravarthy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-458825" class="wp-caption-text">Varun Chakravarthy. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The mystery spinner of KKR <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/varun-chakravarthy-shares-a-fanboy-moment-with-thalapathy-vijay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Varun Chakravarthy</strong></a> was recently in the spotlight when he got his maiden call for team India against Australia. But an unfortunate injury ruled him out of the squad. He received his call on the back of some excellent performance in both domestic and IPL stages.</p>
<p>His 5/20 against Chennai was a gem of a performance to watch. He caught the attention of media when an uncapped player, was bought for a huge 8.4 crore price by KXIP in 2019 auction. But the year didn’t go well for him with regards to the performance, making him the bowler to concede highest runs on debut.</p>
<p>In 2020 he was bought by KKR, where he got the opportunity to prove his worth. His performance of 17 wickets from 13 matches was one of the best by the spinners in a season. Expected to be retained by KKR for 2021 edition, the Tamil Nadu leggie is believed to perform soon for India.</p>
<h3>5. Suryakumar Yadav &#8211; 12.7 crore</h3>
<figure id="attachment_453109" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-453109" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-453109" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Suryakumar-Yadav.jpg" alt="Suryakumar Yadav" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-453109" class="wp-caption-text">Suryakumar Yadav. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Another talent from Mumbai, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/suryakumar-yadav-should-have-been-a-part-of-team-india-for-australia-tour-feels-brian-lara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Suryakumar Yadav</strong></a> is soon expected to break into the national squad due to his consistency and power hitting. His performance along with Ishan Kishan in 2020 IPL edition saw Mumbai lift the championship and his contributions were extremely crucial.</p>
<p>He has been in sublime form, especially in IPL for the last 3 years averaging about 36 and at a strike rate of 140. Yadav was bought by KKR in the 2014 IPL auctions as they were trying to rebuild the team by focusing on young talent. He broke the headlines in IPL 2015 for his match-winning 46 off 20 balls against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens.</p>
<p>Since then he never had to look back and be an automatic selection in the playing XI. He was the Most Valuable uncapped player in 2018 auction when he was bought by Mumbai, and for some good reason. Yadav will be a strong contender to break the auction records again if he is released by Mumbai in the next season.</p>
<h3>4. Deepak Hooda &#8211; 16.9 crore</h3>

<p>The big hitter from Baroda <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-started-my-cricket-career-as-a-wicketkeeper-batsman-kings-xi-punjabs-all-rounder-deepak-hooda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Deepak Hooda</strong></a> has always been playing the role of a finisher for the franchises he has represented due to his ability to clear the fence with ease.

<p>His ability to be score runs quickly and to roll his arm in between for the captain makes him an ideal candidate to make it to the XI of any team. And no wonder franchises have invested on him for the same reason. His consistent performance in domestic circuit has led to the franchises looking for him in the auction.</p>

But he is yet to play to his potential according to many and if given a certain role, he will definitely flourish.</p>

<h3>2. Manan Vohra &#8211; 19.8 crore</h3>
