IPL Auction 2018: 5 Indian players who could be bargain buys

Shubman Gill (Rs. 20 Lakh)

Gill is the vice-captain of the Indian U-19 side

Hailing from the farmlands of Punjab, Shubman Gill started playing the game as a three-year-old, with the idea of representing his country drilled early into his brain.

The rise has been meteoric, and by the age of 18, he has already made his first-class and List-A debuts, while also vice-captaining the Indian U-19 side.

He was the leading run-scorer in England, and earned the praise of interim U-19 coach WV Raman, who conceded that "once he gets hundreds, he gets big hundreds".

A free-flowing batsman who is not afraid to play his strokes, Gill could fit into the top-order order of most teams who are looking for a youngster who can give them quick runs, and wouldn't cost a bomb.
