IPL 2020: 5 uncapped players to watch out for

#2 Nitish Rana - Kolkata Knight Riders

Nitish Rana has not been able to maintain his consistency

Nitish Rana has always been at his best in the earlier stages of the tournament but as the IPL progresses, Rana's form witnesses a dip. He has scored 300 runs in each of the last three seasons but the cricket universe knows that the aggregate could have been near the 400 runs mark had the left-handed batsman played with consistency.

Kolkata Knight Riders will expect the Delhi-based player to be at his destructive best in IPL 2020 because they have stacked up their resources by including Eoin Morgan and Tom Banton in the side. With Andre Russell and Shubman Gill already present to wreak havoc, the Kolkata-based franchise may run away with the title if Rana supports his teammates to perfection.

#1 Devdutt Padikkal - Royal Challengers Bangalore

Devdutt Padikkal will make his IPL debut in 2020

While all the other players on this list have played multiple IPL seasons, Devdutt Padikkal will make his debut in IPL 2020. The uncapped player from Karnataka will garner a lot of attention after his exploits in the domestic circuit. Playing in the domestic circuit, the 19-year-old batsman has aggregated 580 runs in just 12 T20 games.

He has recorded one century and five fifties in those 12 outings which reflects the incredible talent possessed by him. Royal Challengers Bangalore have always had issues with their opening pair but if Padikkal gets going for them this year, then RCB will become the team to beat.
