IPL 2018: 5 benched uncapped players who deserve to be in the Playing XI

#1 Ishank Jaggi

Jaggi has 18 First Class Centuries under his bag

Jaggi was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a price of Rs. 20 Lakh. Though he has been fantastic in the domestic season, he has failed to make it to the XI.

Ishank Jaggi has played 75 matches in the first class cricket and scored 4910 runs at a splendid average of 44.23. He has 18 centuries and the same number of half centuries under his bag. He has even dominated the limited overs cricket where he has scored 2840 runs in his 74 matches at a phenomenal average of 46.55. His highest score has been that of 159*.

The Jharkhand player would be hoping to get a chance to show his capabilities in the tournament. KKR is currently in the crucial stages of the tournament and Jaggi's experience can prove to be beneficial for the team. KKR have struggled to opt four promising overseas players. Jaggi can be tried in place of Javon Searles as he'll provide more experience to the batting lineup.
