The IPL with its motto, 'Where talent meets opportunity' is known to bring out sensational young talents. However, Manish Pandey and Paul Valthaty were the only two Indian uncapped players to score hundreds.

Pandey smashed 114 not out off 73 balls against Deccan Chargers at the Centurion in the second edition of IPL, whereas Valthaty's unbeaten 120 off 63 balls came against CSK at Mohali in 2011.

Seven years later Pandey is regular in India's ODI and T20 setup whereas Valthaty has faded away.
