IPL 2018: 5 Indian players who are very unlucky not to play a single game
IPL allowed the franchises to have a maximum of 25 players in the squad, which included a maximum of 8 overseas players. It is always difficult for franchises to give chances to everyone in their squad because of the depth of the squad and the intensity of the competition.
IPL is definitely an experience for the young talents in Indian cricket even if they do not get opportunities to represent their franchise on the field. On the other hand, some of the deserving candidates were left out of the squad because of team combinations and various other factors.
On that note, let's have a look at the 5 Indian players who are very unlucky not to play a single game in IPL 2018
#5 Khaleel Ahmed (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
The left-arm seamer from Rajasthan was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a huge Rs 3 crores in the 2018 auction. Khaleel Ahmed was a revelation in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Tournament, 2017/18.
Khaleel Ahmed clocked speeds of 145+ in the tournament and finished as the second highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets. The 20-year-old was a part of the U19 team which reached the World Cup final in 2016 and has already spent two seasons with Delhi Daredevils.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has arguably the best pace attack in IPL 2018 with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, Basil Thampi, and T Natarajan. Khaleel is too good a talent to warm the bench for a long time.
