IPL 2018: 4 uncapped players who are too good to be warming the bench

#3 Anukul Roy (MI)

Roy was a revelation at the U-19 World Cup

The 19-year-old is a complete package with his slow left-arm spin, handy left-handed batting, and electrical fielding. He was a part of India’s successful U-19 World Cup campaign under the leadership of Prithvi Shaw. He finished the tournament as the joint-highest wicket-taker with fourteen scalps from six games at an impressive average of 9.06. He had the best strike-rate in the tournament - 14.1.

His exploits at the U-19 World Cup were convincing enough for the Mumbai Indians setup as they poached him at the IPL auctions 2018. Roy serves as an ideal replacement in the starting XI for Mumbai if any one of Mayank Markande and Krunal Pandya needs a replacement.
