IPL Auction 2018: Five under-19 Indian players to keep an eye on

England U19's v India U19's - 5th ODI — These players can fit the important 'uncapped players' quota for the IPL franchises

In the ongoing Under Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, the Indian team has qualified for the quarter-finals after topping their group. Not only did they win all their group matches, but also won them convincingly.

They completely dominated the Australian team in their first match by beating them by a huge margin of 100 runs. The young team coached by the legend Rahul Dravid ran through Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe in the next two matches. They won both the matches by ten wickets.

India are not only one of the favourites to lift the youth World Cup, but some of the main players are also close to winning an IPL contract this year. With the IPL auction less than a week away, many of them will be under the radar of all the franchises.

Today we will look at five players who might make it to the IPL this year:

#5 Shivam Mavi

<p> — Mavi has impressed one and all with his consistent performances in the three games

Role - Bowler

Performance in U19 World Cup - 6 wickets in 3 innings

This tall fast bowler from Uttar Pradesh has impressed everyone with his pace in the ongoing tournament. He has bowled with the new ball and has proved to be a wicket-taking option for the captain.

He has consistently bowled above 140 kmph and has troubled the opposition batsmen with his pace and bounce. Teams like to have options in the fast bowling department, more so because seam bowlers are prone to injuries.

Mavi might provide that option to the franchises.
