Five Indian players who have never played in the IPL but could have done well

#1 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev

The Indian cricket should be indebted to Kapil Dev forever for transforming the game in the country. Not only did India win under him but he was an all-in-one package. In today’s terminology, he was the perfect allrounder to lead any side. He was someone who batted down the order but played some very good cameos with a strike rate greater than 95.

He was not just the ‘finisher’ but was also someone who would anchor the innings. In terms of bowling, he was one of the earliest known fast bowlers to have played for the team. He was not only good with the new ball but was equally effective in the second spell. He was also someone who took exceptional catches in the deep. Overall, Kapil Dev would be the ideal all-rounder and the captain in this T20 era. His inclusion in the auction would have created a bidding war between franchises.
