“Yatra Pratibha avsara prapnotihi,” this quote engraved on the glittering IPL trophy defines the existence of this league. It means “Where talent meets opportunity” and that is what makes IPL stand apart. Since its inception in 2008, the league has completely changed the landscape of Indian cricket by unearthing a plethora of hidden talents. Numerous Indian team stars started their journey in IPL and came into the spotlight.
Every season there is a particular focus on the young talents as they always serve something extraordinary for the fans. The upcoming season will once again provide a platform for these youngsters to showcase their skills. Let us take a look at the top 3 uncapped players to watch out for in IPL 2024.
1. Akash Madhwal
The right-arm fast bowler from Uttarakhand, Akash Madhwal, was one of the finds for Mumbai Indians in the last season. He took the league by storm with his jaw-dropping bowling spells. Mumbai Indians did not have the strongest bowling attack in the last season but youngsters like Akash Madhwal took up the responsibility and carried the team to the playoffs with their impressive bowling efforts.
Madhwal was one of the star performers for his franchise and this season will be another big test for him. The MI setup has always given the youngsters a chance to thrive and the talented fast bowler will be looking to learn more and improve in the upcoming season.
2. Sameer Rizvi
One of the uncapped Indian names that shocked everyone in the latest IPL auction was Sameer Rizvi. Rizvi, a hard-hitting middle-order batter from Uttar Pradesh was bought by Chennai Super Kings for an unbelievable sum of 8.4 crores. The 20-year-old from UP has been one of the most promising names in domestic cricket in recent times.
He came into wide attention for his breathtaking knocks in the UP T20 league. CSK were determined to include him in the squad which is also reflective of the impression that the youngster has made. He will certainly get opportunities in IPL 2024 and the fans would expect him to grab those opportunities with both hands.
3. Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag is no longer an unknown commodity in the IPL. He has been playing for Rajasthan Royals for quite some time now but his performances, unfortunately, have not justified his place in the team. But Parag seems to be turning the tide in his favour as he had an incredible domestic season both with his batting and bowling.
This will be a make-or-break season for the youngster from Assam and this time there will be less leniency if he does not live up to the expectations. But looking at his current form, Rajasthan Royals fans are in for a ride.
