IPL 2022: 5 uncapped Indian bowlers who were impressive in the tournamentÂ
The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) culminated on Sunday (May 29) with Gujarat Titans (GT) winning the silverware in their maiden attempt. The side dominated throughout the season and eventually defeated the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets in the final in Ahmedabad.
With ten franchises this season, the IPL 2022 provided more opportunities for young players to showcase their mettle in front of the world.
Bowling alongside the greats in world cricket, young pacers like Umran Malik, and Arshdeep Singh carved out a space for themselves and showcased their raw talent.
In such a short period of time, these youngsters established themselves as important members of their team's bowling unit. On that note, here are the five uncapped pacers who have impressed the most during the IPL 2022 season.
#5. Mukesh Choudhary (CSK)

Having gotten a chance largely due to the injury to Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary impressed pundits and fans with his ability to swing the ball both ways.
The left-arm pacer spearheaded the young Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s pace attack and developed as one of their best bowlers as the season progressed. The 25-year-old played 13 league games this season.
While Choudhary performed admirably in almost every game for Chennai, it was in the crucial CSK-MI tie that he truly shone. Choudhary wreaked havoc on MI's top order, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Dewald Brevis in quick succession.
Choudhary, who took 16 wickets at an average of 26 this season for CSK, was the team's top wicket-taker. Though his economy of 9.3 was on the higher side, the Rajasthan-born lad is still in the early days of his career and will only improve with time.
#4. Yash Dayal (GT)
Yash Dayal was part of the title-winning Gujarat Titans (GT) first XI. While the left-arm pacer wasn't part of the first few games, he became a mainstay in the GT lineup as the season progressed. With his accuracy and ability to move the ball both ways, Dayal proved to be a great asset to the already potent GT bowling attack.
In the nine games he played in his debut season, Dayal picked up 11 crucial scalps at an average of 26.9 for the Titans. The 24-year-old was making a lot of noise on the domestic circuit before GT paid a handsome ₹3.20 crores at the auction. The side reaped the rewards Dayal will be an effective left-arm option for GT in the future.
