IPL is not just about cash and entertainment. Every season presents a new opportunity for the fringe players to make a mark in the IPL and go on to grab their much sought-after Indian cap. Though the selectors have time and again mentioned that IPL form is not the only criteria for Indian selection, many have benefitted largely from their success on this stage. Let us take a look at 5 players who have put themselves on the radar of the Indian selectors with their stellar performances in IPL 2014. 

#1 Robin Uthappa

After doing the hard yards in domestic cricket helping Karnatakawin 3 domestic titles in a year Robin Uthappa, representing Kolkata Knight Riders,has followed it up with a terrific IPL season which includes a record-breaking effort of scoring the most 40+ scores in this format of the game (9 and counting), beating HD Ackermans previous best of6 consecutive 40+ scores backin2006.
