Top 8 youngsters who made a mark in IPL 10

Question

1) Jaydev Unadkat:- The performances of Jaydev Unadkat in IPL 2017 have been a revelation. From being the eternal journeyman since he started out in 2010, Unadkat grabbed the opportunity with both hands in Rising Pune Supergiant as he finished the tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker with 24 wickets in 12 games.

 

2) Rishabh Pant:- The Delhi youngster followed up a good season in domestic cricket with a superb show in IPL-10. His amazing 97 from 43 balls for the Delhi Daredevils against the Gujarat Lions was rated by the great Sachin Tendulkar as one of the best innings he has seen in all 10 IPL seasons.

 

3) Rahul Tripathi:- Rising Pune Supergiants' impressive turnaround in the second half of IPL 10 was made largely possible because of his batting. With 353 runs in 10 games, the 26 year old is the only cricketer in IPL-10's top 10 batsmen to have not played international cricket.

 

4) Nitish Rana:- He may have not found favour with the Delhi selectors, but Nitish proved his worth and more for the Mumbai Indians. The 23-year-old left-hander made the No 3 slot his own at Mumbai with three fifties in his first six knocks in IPL-10, including a 29-ball half-century against the Kolkata Knight Riders which saw Mumbai steal victory from the jaws of defeat.

 

5) Sanju Samson:- The 22 year old has been a revelation for the Delhi Daredevils, scoring 386 runs in 13 games, including a century and two fifties. Opening the innings, he hit a smashing 61 from 31 balls as he helped Delhi chase down a massive 209 against the Gujarat Lions.

 

6) Shreyas Iyer:- The 22 year old hit a stunning 96 in 57 balls, laced with 15 fours and two sixes, which helped the Delhi Daredevils win a thrilling run chase. In 11 games, Shreyas scored 306 runs at a good strike rate of 143.

 

7) Washington Sundar:- At 17 years of age, Washington Sundar has been the find of the tournament. He became the youngest player to feature in an IPL final, beating the mark of 19 years set by Ravindra Jadeja in 2008 while playing for Rajasthan Royals. His economy rate of 6.16 is the best in IPL 2017 and his eight wickets in 10 games had earmarked him for great success in the coming years. 

 

8) Mohammed Siraj:- The tall pace bowler had already become a star before the IPL 2017 began after he was snapped up by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 2.6 crore. The highlight of Siraj’s performance in IPL 2017 was his haul of 4/32 against Gujarat Lions which resulted in a dramatic collapse.
