India has several top-notch players in every format of the game. As a result, India is among the top three teams across all three formats. However, there are some talented domestic Indian players who have scored plenty of runs in the domestic Cricket and IPL.

Moreover, many domestic players have been picked in the Indian team after a stellar performance in the IPL. As a matter of fact, IPL helps the domestic players to grow because they get to play with several world-class international players. Likewise, India's domestic Cricket structure is remarkable and it has produced innumerable legends of the Indian Cricket.

For instance, Prithvi Shaw and Hanuma Vihari were picked recently in the Indian Test squad and they have a bright chance to make debut in England. Conversely, there are some uncapped Indian players who deserve a place in the Indian team.

Here we discuss 3 uncapped Indian players who should be in the Indian Cricket team.


#3 Krunal Pandya

ECB XI v India A - Tour Match
Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya is a talented all-rounder who has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians. In fact, his performance helped Mumbai Indians to win several matches in the IPL and he certainly deserves a place in India's limited overs squad. Additionally, he is the elder brother of Hardik Pandya, who is a regular member of the Indian team in every format.

The Pandya brothers came to limelight from the IPL and Hardik's incredible IPL performance helped him to get a place in the Indian team. Although Krunal has done equally well in the IPL, he is yet to play for India. However, Krunal got selected for the T20 series against England, but he did not make his India debut.

Meanwhile, the 27-year old is a lower-order batsman and a useful left-arm spinner. He can clear the boundaries with ease and he can be an indispensable addition to India's limited overs squad.

#2 Shubman Gill

England U19's v India U19's - 4th ODI
Shubman Gill

Shubhman Gill is a prodigious talent who is the future of Indian Cricket. As a matter of fact, he is one of the best young players in India and he has numerous achievements in his young career. He is a right-handed batsman who has a stupendous batting technique.

Furthermore, Gill made his first-class debut last year and scored his maiden century in his second first-class match. But he came to limelight earlier this year when he guided India to secure the U19 World Cup.

In fact, he was the vice-captain of the India U19 team and he was India's leading run scorer in the tournament. The youngster scored 372 runs in the tournament and he was also named the player of the U19 World Cup.

Subsequently, the Kolkata Knight Riders bought Gill in the IPL and he played 13 matches for the Kolkata franchise this season. Hence, he deserves to be in the Indian squad and he can be a perfect inclusion in the Indian middle order.


#1 Mayank Agarwal

England Lions v India A - Tri-Series International
Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal is another uncapped player who has been in a magnificent form. The 27-year batsman represents Karnataka in the domestic level and his incredible batting run has caught the attention of the Indian selectors. However, he has not managed to get his maiden India cap yet, but he is expected to get his big break soon.

Moreover, Agarwal is an adept player who can be an asset in every format. As a matter of fact, he was the leading run-scorer of the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy season and he scored an impressive triple century in the same season. Therefore, it shows his mettle in the longest format of the game and he can be a good addition to the Indian Test squad.

Additionally, Agarwal is equally proficient in the limited overs Cricket. Likewise, he was the leading run scorer of the 2017-18 Vijay Hazare Trophy where he scored 723 runs in just eight matches. Hence, the selectors should pick him in the Indian squad and he can play a crucial role in every format.
