IPL history: When uncapped Indian batsmen smashed international bowlers

Among so many benefits that IPL has bestowed to the Indian cricket, the exposure for uncapped Indian players has to be the most important. For the uncapped and young Indians, IPL has brought the chance to share the dressing room with the international giants and also play against them in a tough competition.

It is obvious that the said players have been getting the benefit of this opportunity as they have executed their talent on the field. Many times uncapped Indian batsmen have smashed giant international bowlers with ease.

Let's have a look at a couple of those incidents.

#1 Manan Vohra vs Rashid Khan

Vohra vs Rashid- 0, 4, 6, 4, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 4, 0, 6, 6, 4

This incident took place during IPL 2017 when Sunrisers Hyderabad was playing a home game against Kings XI Punjab. Batting first, SRH posted 159/6 on the board, with the captain David Warner making the highest contribution of 70 not out off 54 balls.

Chasing the target, no batsmen from Punjab could get going except Manan Vohra. They struggled to an extent that the second highest run scorer behind Vohra was Eoin Morgan with 13 runs; Vohra scored 95 off 50 balls with nine fours and five sixes.

During his sensational knock, Manan Vohra tore apart one of best bowler in world cricket, Rashid Khan. While the Afghani leggie was clueless for other batsmen, he had no answer of Vohra's smashing. The KXIP batsman faced 14 deliveries from Rashid Khan and collected 37 runs off those with four fours and three sixes, while Rashid conceded only 5 runs in 10 balls bowled to other batsmen.

But Vohra's effort could not yield the victory for his team as Bhuvneshwar's brilliance took SRH home by just 5 runs.

#2 Rahul Tripathi vs Kuldeep Yadav

Tripathi vs Kuldeep- 2, 1, 6, 6, 6, 0, 1, 1, 0, 6

In IPL 2017, when Kolkata Knight Riders faced Rising Pune Supergiants at Eden Gardens, cricket fans witnessed this occurrence. KKR, batting first after losing the toss, scored 155/8 in their quota of 20 overs, on the back of a collective effort from their batsmen. In the reply, except Rahul Tripathi, RPSG batsmen could not keep the ball rolling.

But Rahul Tripathi was looking to bat on the whole another level as he kept the KKR bowlers smashing all around the park. During the course, he latched on the giant international spinner Kuldeep Yadav, looted 29 runs off 10 balls against the wrist spinner, while Kuldeep spent only six runs in 14 balls bowled to other batsmen. Tripathi cleared the ropes 4 times against Kuldeep.

On the back of Tripathi's brilliance, Rising Pune Supergiants defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets.

#3 Yogesh Takawale vs Morne Morkel

The first part of the seventh edition of Indian Premier League was played in the UAE due to the general elections in India. In the 11th match, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal challenges Bangalore locked horns in Sharjah. KKR, batting first, posted a good total of 150/7, with the highest contribution of 45 runs off 31 balls from Chris Lynn.

Chasing the target, RCB openers Parthiv Patel and Yogesh Takawale provided a flourishing start to his team, adding 67 runs in fewer than 8 overs. During the course, Yogesh Takawale, 29 years old batsman from Tripura, took on African pacer Morne Morkel in some style. Out of 12 balls, Morkel bowled to Takawale, six times, the RCB batsmen despatched the ball for four runs. Morkel conceded only 7 runs in his 12 deliveries bowled to other batsmen.

Yogesh Takawale scored 40 off 28 balls with eight fours, but in a dramatic end, RCB fell short by 2 runs as Chris Lynn completed one of the best catches in IPL history to get rid of the dangerous De Villiers in the last over.

#4 Ishan Kishan vs Kuldeep Yadav

Kishan vs Kuldeep- 0, 6, 1, 6, 6, 6, 6

This is from the previous season of IPL when Kolkata Knight Riders faced Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens. Mumbai Indians, batting first after losing the toss, started on a good note with openers Evin Lewis and Surya Kumar Yadav added 46 for the first wicket in 5.4 overs.

Ishan Kishan came to bat at number 4 with both openers back into the hut. In no time, Kishan demolished the KKR bowlers with a scintillating 62 off just 21 balls, powered by five fours and six sixes. The bowler who faced the most of the wrath was none other than the star Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The MI batsmen took him to the cleaner, smashing five sixes in his seven deliveries. In 11 deliveries bowled to other batsmen, Kuldeep spent only 12 runs.

Mumbai Indians won the match by 102 runs as the KKR surrendered at just 108 runs, chasing a mammoth score of 210.
