IPL 2018 - 4 Key uncapped Indian all-rounders

The 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League kicks off on April 7 with the contest between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

In the shortest format of the game, it is highly necessary to have a good depth in batting and bowling departments so it was not a big surprise to see that this year's IPL auction saw various teams focusing a bit more towards all-rounders.

This can also be proved by the fact that Ben Stokes was the costliest player at the auction with Rajasthan Royals' paying a whopping amount of Rs 12.5 crores to bring Stokes into their fold.

Several Indian all-rounders also fetched a huge sum at the auctions and they look likely to play a big part in their side's fortunes in the eleventh edition of the IPL.

Here is the list of 5 best-uncapped all-rounders participating in this years IPL.
