IPL 2018: Three uncapped Indian batsmen who have impressed so far

#2 Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana

During last year's IPL, Nitish Rana emerged as one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket. He was a consistent performer for Mumbai Indians and scored 333 runs in 13 games at a healthy average of over 30.

In this year's auction, after a fierce bidding war between Mumbai Indians and KKR, he was brought by KKR for 3.4 crores. He had an impressive start by turning the match in KKR's favor after taking wickets of ABD and Virat Kohli in a single over.

In the seven matches so far, he has scored 173 runs at an average of around 30. He has also been used a part-time bowler and has picked up four wickets. If he manages to string up consistent performances in the remaining matches of the IPL, a call-up to the national squad doesn't look so distant.
