IPL 2018: 5 youngsters who have impressed in the first half of the season

Shubman Gill

Gill has been batting way too low to display his potential

Shubman Gill is an Indian middle-order batsman who was in red-hot form in the Under-19 World Cup. He can be called as the find of that tournament as he scored 372 runs in 5 matches at a phenomenal average of 124. He had scored half-centuries in all the innings that he had played in that competition except for the finals.

He was a revelation in the competition and had shown glimpses of Virat Kohli. Gill's performances in the tournament were noticed by a number of IPL sides as he was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2018 auction for a huge price of Rs 1.8 Crs.

Kolkata Knight Riders have bought a number of Under 19 Players and have also started giving them opportunities. Gill is one of the most talented players in the Indian setup at present. Though he hasn't got enough time in the middle to display his full potential, the way he played in the match against Delhi was a sample enough to judge this prodigy's talent.
