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

#5 Apoorv Wankhede

Apoorv has scored with an average of 40.58 in the First Class Cricket

Wankhede was bought for a price of Rs.20 Lakhs by Kolkata Knight Riders. Wankhede has been amazing for Vidarbha in the domestic season. He played a huge role in taking his team to the Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup.

Apoorv Wankhede has played 11 first-class matches and scored 487 runs at an outstanding average of 40.58. He has 2 first-class cricket centuries under his bag. He has also been pretty impressive in the limited overs cricket. He has played 40 T20s and scored 699 runs at a decent strike rate of 129.68.

The Vidarbha lad would be hoping to get a chance to show his capabilities in front of the master class players. However, it seems that Wankhede may not get an opportunity to showcase his performance as KKR is currently playing the crucial stages of the tournament
