IPL 2023: IPL has been widely regarded for its highly regarded gameplay and for providing a remarkably robust platform for national and international talents. And when it comes to recognizing talents, who else is to be noticed except the immensely talented group comprising the extensive range of uncapped players who participate regularly in the domestic league?
Over the years, many such Indian talents have been recognized and have grown to become complete cricketers. But now, with the growing popularity of the IPL, not only Indian domestic players but also various talented overseas uncapped youngsters have made it to international cricket after being recognized as superior talents in the IPL.
Let’s take a look at the 10 teams (CSK, RCB, MI, DC, RR, LST, GT, HRH, PBKS & KKR) and their best possible set of all-rounders in IPL 2023:
10. Chennai Super Kings
Rating: 4/10
The Super Kings, led by the Indian maestro MS Dhoni, have recognized several players over the years who went on to be stars for Indian cricket. Players like Ravi Ashwin, Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, and Murali Vijay are among the many players who have led the way to captivating international careers.
As of now, CSK does not comprise many uncapped talents; players like Shivam Dube, Mukesh Chowdhury, and Tushar Deshpande are good but not promising talents of the game, and hence CSK has a poor deck in terms of uncapped players.
9. Lucknow Supergiants
Rating: 5/10
The Lucknow Super Giants proved their efficiency in their debut season by showing extraordinary performance. The LSG lineup comprises a set of exceptionally talented national and international players, and alongside these greats, the LSG also has uncapped inclusions like the impressive Ayush Badoni and the severely talented pacer Mohsin Khan, who is an exemplary asset for the Supergiants.
8. Mumbai Indians
Rating: 6/10
Mumbai has had a great bunch of players throughout all these years. They have produced players like Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, the proficient Hardik Pandya, and the current best Indian T20 talent, Suryakumar Yadav. They have also produced international greats like Tim David, and Tristian Stubbs found his international spot after playing in MI colors.
Having produced these current legends of Indian cricket, MI is considered a side capable of recognizing unique talents. In recent times, they have had high-potential uncapped players like Tilak Verma and Dewald Brevis; these two are the next-generation players for MI and also for their nations.
7. Kolkata Knight Riders
Rating: 6/10
Though the Knight Riders are not at all a comprehensive set-up, still they have always shown a great resurgence when it comes to uncapped players. The KKR team recently has eminent players like Venky Iyer, the uncapped yet experienced Nitish Rana, the KKR boy Rinku Singh and Narayan Jagadeesan in IPL 2023. Though KKR has a vivid range of uncapped players none of them seems to be as promising, to be rated well.
6. Delhi Capitals
Rating: 7/10
The most raging franchise setup is donned with several youngsters like Prithvi Shaw, the most probable debutant, Yash Dhull, recently added Mukesh Kumar, and also Chetan Sakariya. The Capitals have this outstanding balance and chemistry amongst their uncapped and capped players, as he sees the terrific chemistry between the less-capped Prithvi and the largely experienced Warner.
Now, the Capitals have an outstanding range of emerging players who can be the future of Indian cricket, as no national side would want to let go of a batting option like Yash Dhull or a bowling spearhead like Sakariya, a left-armer.
5. Punjab Kings
Rating: 7/10
The Kings do not comprise many young or spirited uncapped players but have a few players who are good at their business and are specially crafted for playing in emerging roles. Their main star attraction is Jitesh Sharma, who is an exorbitant player who can prove to be a star for India in the shorter format.
Another recently included prolific talent is Prabhsimran Singh, who can be PBKS’s first-choice pick in terms of uncapped players. They also have the eminent and highly paid uncapped contributor, Shahrukh Khan, who is expected to deliver this year in IPL 2023.
4. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Rating: 7/10
The best team on team sheets this year has their hands a bit tight in terms of uncapped players. Their most hunted uncapped player Rahul Tripathi was recently picked for the national team, and hence as of now the players left uncapped are the talented opening all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, newly trusted auction picks Vivrant Sharma and Mayank Dagar, and finally the lanky pacer Kartik Tyagi.
All these players are eminent performers, and many might get India calls after this season, especially Abhishek Sharma, as India is already desperate for a T20 opener.
3. Royal Challengers Bangalore
Rating: 7/10
The Bangalore side is always the most celebrated, and despite their failures, their fans have never given up on the team. Now, they have vastly talented players like the prolific Rajat Patidar and other replacement members like Suyash Prabhudessai, Anuj Rawat, or Mahipal Lomror in IPL 2023. With neither many promising players in the uncapped deck, RCB has a few informed sets of players who are uncapped but can prove to be great in the near future.
2. Rajasthan Royals
Rating: 7/10
The Rajasthan Royals showed a terrific run in the IPL 2023 season, and with major contributions from Buttler, he was also efficiently supported by other Indian maestros Ashwin and Samson.
But the set that contributed in a way more than expected comprised the Indian talented uncapped youngsters like Devdutt Padikkal, Yesashvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and sometimes Kuldeep Sen, and the first three remain to be equally promising and eminent even this year and hence have probably the best uncapped players in terms of caliber.
1. Gujarat Titans
Rating: 8/10
The defending champions are often criticized for having too many young and uncapped players in their lineup. But their management has shown how prolific youngsters can be by winning a title with these men guided by experienced players.
They feature players like Abhinav Manohar, Sai Sudarshan, the uncapped yet experienced Rahul Tewatiya, R. Sao Kishore, and the young seamer Dayal, who has also been a resilient performer. Though they comprise players who are not well known but have great caliber and have also shown their greatness on the field, they are hence highly rated.
