IPL 2018: 4 Indian uncapped batsmen who can win the orange cap
IPL is the platform for the domestic cricketers to get the spotlight of the fans and the selectors, which, later on, can lead to their rise in both the aspects - career growth as well as the paycheck.
Over the years, many uncapped batsmen in the past like Manish Pandey, Ambati Rayudu, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tripathi, T Suman, Mandeep Singh, Manan Vohra have accompanied their franchises to dizzying heights.
They not only provide the much-needed balance to their teams but also take care of the pockets of the franchises, and most importantly justify the first word in Indian Premier League.
Let's take a look at those uncapped Indian players who can go on to win the orange cap in the upcoming season:
#4 Nitish Rana
Nitish Rana came into the limelight in IPL 2016 when he played a 70-run knock against the Gujarat Lions at the dusk of the season.
He continued his heroics in the next season where he took the first half of the edition by storm, scoring three fifties for Mumbai Indians, although he went off-color in the latter half & got dropped prior to the playoffs.
The Delhi-lad was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹ 3.4 crores, after letting go his idol and former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir. Mostly batting in the top-order, Rana can be the one to grab the orange cap, having seen glimpses of his efficacy already.
