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

Modified Mar 01, 2019 15:27 IST

#2 Shreyas Gopal (Rajasthan Royals)

Last year, Shreyas Gopal turned out to be a surprise package for the Rajasthan Royals team. He performed well and was pretty consistent in picking up wickets. He picked up 11 wickets in 11 games at an average of 21.66 and even claimed the wickets of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.

He has also been a reliable all-rounder for his domestic team in the Ranji Trophy over the years, playing a pivotal role in helping his team claim the Ranji Trophy title in 2014.

Considering the fact that Rajasthan Royals are lacking a proper Indian spinner, Shreyas Gopal will be their spearhead this season.

It will be a make or break season for him with a lot of responsibility resting on his shoulders. If current form is anything to go by, then expect him to play a huge role in his franchise’s success this season.

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.
