Leg-spinners were the most sought-after in this season and this was the only area where teams actually trusted uncapped players to do the job and two players stepped up to perform remarkably well.

Shreyas Gopal had an astounding season and was probably the best player for the Rajasthan Royals. He picked up 20 wickets this season including two scalps of Virat Kohli and two of AB De Villiers and this highlights his expertise with the ball. He was a menace to most batsmen unlucky enough to face him and his stringent economy rate of 7.22 shows that he was tough to get runs off. A real talent, he can be an option for the selectors to consider for the national team in the future.

Young Rahul Chahar grabbed his opportunity during Mayank Markande's illness and was tremendous with the ball for the Mumbai Indians. 'The Game-Changer of the Season' award winner, Chahar picked up 13 wickets in 13 matches at a good economy rate of 6.55.

Navdeep Saini is one of the top pace bowling talents in India, currently and he delivered a brilliant performance this season. Saini picked up 11 wickets in 13 games at an economy rate of 8.27 and if it weren't for some utter-sloppy fielding from RCB, the speedster would have easily gathered another 4-5 wickets.

Prasidh Krishna is another talent who has failed to deliver this season. He bowled with tremendous pace but was unable to pick up too many wickets this season. With only 4 wickets in 11 matches at an economy rate of 9.34, you might not expect him being on the list but the usage of uncapped players by teams is so low that even a player with poor stats by him makes it to the best XI.
