IPL 2018: 5 benched uncapped players who deserve to be in the Playing XI

#2 Manjot Kalra

Kalra's 101* helped India to bag the U-19 World Cup

The U-19 la was bought for Rs. 20 Lakhs by Delhi Daredevils. He came into limelight when he guided the Indian U-19 team to the U-19 World Cup with his blistering knock of 101*.

Manjot scored 283 runs in his 6 innings at a phenomenal average of 47.1 in the 2018 U-19 World Cup. He proved to be a very effective opener alongside Prithvi Shaw in the entire tournament.

Delhi Daredevils have been officially knocked out of the tournament. Thus, Kalra could experiment in the future matches as an opener. Kalra can be tried ahead of Jason Roy in the future games. Kalra and Shaw made few blistering partnerships in the U-19 World Cup 2018 and it would be quite interesting to see the young lads opening the innings of Delhi Daredevils.
