IPL 2019: Top 5 uncapped players to watch out for

Varun Chakravarty (Kings XI Punjab)

KINGS XI won the auction battle for Varun

Last but not the least, how could this list end without the most priced player of this season’s IPL auction. What started from a meager base price culminated into a surprising bidding war from multiple franchisees till the Kings XI Punjab grabbed him at a mouth-watering 8.4 crores.

Having made his List A debut for Tamil Nadu in the Vijay Hazare trophy this year, he has been dubbed as the next ‘mystery spinner’ and was the highest wicket-taker for Tamil Nadu in the tournament with 22 dismissals from a mere nine matches. Consequently, he featured in the Ranji Trophy for Tamil Nadu the same season.

Will he be able to justify his exorbitant price tag and the faith Kings XI Punjab has bestowed on him this season? Or will be simply another auction mis-hit like KC Kariappa? IPL, through its unique confluence of cricketers, is a more unpredictable tournament than any other these young uncapped cricketers have ever encountered. This season, the eyes would surely be on this talented cricketer as he unleashes his mystery spin before the world’s best T20 specialists.
