IPL 2016: 5 Indian players who can stage a comeback to the national team

The Indian Premier League presents a very good opportunity for players who have been sidelined from the National Team to perform and win their places back. 

There have been players who have performed consistently in the domestic circuit, but then performances on the big stage in front of all the cameras does their case no harm.

Indian players who have been discarded in the past have used this platform to come back into National reckoning and they have also been handed out the opportunities.

We look at 5 players who have been shunted out, but a good performance in the upcoming IPL will certainly hold them in good stead in the upcoming season.

Robin Uthappa

The opening batsman from Karnataka has been in prolific run getting form in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy. In 13 innings, Uthappa has scored 759 runs with an impressive average of 58.38.

He has also worked on his wicket-keeping skills and this new wing also will do him no harm whatsoever.

Uthappa has been a consistent performer in the IPL as well and has hit his straps for the Kolkata Knight Riders for whom he opens the batting. His record is impressive as well. In 120 matches he has scored 2996 runs at a average of 29.96 and with a strike rate of 127.70.

Another dominating performance and Uthappa can certainly break into the National squad.
