Manjot Kalra, the stylish left handed batsman who played a match winning knock of 101 in 102 in the finals of 2018 Under 19 World Cup. He was bought by Delhi Daredevils for INR 20 Lakhs. Though Delhi Daredevils had invested in quite a few young players like Prithvi Shaw, Pant, Iyer, Abhishek Sharma who have impressed the audience and also the stake holders.

Delhi Daredevils gave chance to Prithvi Shaw and performed reasonably well in his maiden IPL season. Also the young all-rounder Abishek Sharma was given a chance against Royal Challengers Bangalore and also impressed with his brilliant batting on his debut.
Apart from a stellar performance in the finals, he had played 5 more matches scoring 86,9*, 9 and 47, did not get to bat against Zimbabwe and remained not out against PNG. While his selection to IPL was justified one wonders why this franchise despite some known player’s poor performance, did not try this young talent.
