The Indian Premier League has finally come to an end. After an entertaining 7 weeks of cricket, CSK emerged victorious while SRH finished as runners-up. A few of the players came into the Indian team on the back of their performances in this year's IPL. IPL, on the whole, was entertaining and there were a lot of last over thrillers.

As usual, a lot of uncapped players stamped their authority in this season's Indian Premier League. Here's a look at the best uncapped playing XI of the season.
