IPL 2019: Top 5 uncapped players to watch out for

Ishan Kishan (Mumbai Indians)

ECB XI v India A - Tour Match

A prodigiously talented left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman coming from the sands of none other than Jharkhand, Ishan Kishan was bought last year by the Mumbai Indians for a staggering 6.2 crores after one of the most intense bidding wars on the auction table that season.

One of the retained players by Mumbai Indians, Ishan Kishan first came to limelight when he was picked to lead the Indian U-19 team in the 2016 U-19 World Cup at Dhaka. In the same year, he scored 273 runs against Delhi for Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy. It still is the highest score by any Jharkhand player in the tournament.

Last IPL season, he had been a mixed season for Ishan Kishan. While he amassed almost 300 impressive runs and scored three fifties in the process, his talent certainly surpasses what this result shows.

Ishan Kishan would certainly be looking forward to extending his batting figures this season and unleash his true potential. Moreover, having played for multiple junior Indian teams, he would be hungry for a taste of the senior scheme of things
