IPL 2019: 5 uncapped players who will have the biggest impact

Modified Mar 01, 2019 15:27 IST

#3 Ishan Kishan (Mumbai Indians)

This isn’t Ishan Kishan’s first IPL season. He made his IPL debut in 2016 which turned out to be a forgettable season for the youngster. However, his next two seasons were quite memorable. He played a couple of match-winning knocks and proved to be a useful part of his franchise.

Ishan Kishan possesses the ability to strike the ball big and hard. He has an impressive strike-rate of 137.81 and only seems to be getting better with each passing season.

The young wicket-keeper batsman is currently in scintillating form for his team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Fans will expect him to carry his form into the IPL where he will play a crucial role for Mumbai Indians as a top order batsman.

There is a lot of potential in this young batsman who is just 20 years of age and 2019 could be a breakthrough season for him that could even earn him a national call-up.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
