1. Manjot Kalra (Delhi Daredevils)
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.
2. Navdeep Saini (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
The tall young fast bowler Navdeep Saini was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise for INR 3 Crore for his pace bowling talent. In the 2017/18 Ranji Trophy season, he had picked 34 wickets from 8 matches and had helped Delhi to reach finals of this year’s tournament.

His best figures in 2017/18 edition of Ranji Trophy were 7/90. With the Royal Challengers Bangalore, not finding good pace combination to win in the first 10 matches one wonders why Kohli an experienced captain did not think of a home team pace bowler with all evidence in favour of him. It is unlikely that RCB would give him a chance in the remaining 2 games because the present pacers in Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee and Mohammad Siraj have been doing well in the last 2 matches.
3. Anukul Roy (Mumbai Indians)
Anukul Roy a left arm spin bowler and the leading wicket taker in the 2018 Under 19 World Cup with 14 wickets from 6 matches was bought by Mumbai Indians franchise for RS 20 Lakhs. He can also bat reasonably well lower down the order.

He played a key role in helping India winning the 2018 Under 19 World Cup held at New Zealand this year. Despite his good performances, he has been warming bench throughout this IPL as Mumbai Indians had a good spinning option in Krunal Pandya, Mayank Markande and part time spinner in JP Duminy. The defending Champions Mumbai Indians are at 10 points and with 2 matches left, MI may not take any risk at this decisive stage of the league stages.
4. Gurkeerat Singh Mann (Delhi Daredevils)
Gurkeerat Singh Mann an all-rounder, who made his T20 debut for Punjab in 2011, continues to play for them in domestic cricket including Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Musthaq Ali Trophy. For India, he has played 3 One day internationals.

Delhi Daredevils despite lacklustre performances of some of their key players did not dare to give this experienced cricketer any chances so far. As they are already out of contention, they might give him a chance in remaining two matches that would neither benefit the franchise nor the player.
5. Pavan Deshpande (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Pavan Desphande, the young talented all-rounder made his T20 debut for Karnataka in 2015. Since then he has played 11 T20Is and scored 336 runs with an average of 67.20.

In this year’s IPL auction, the talented all-rounder Pavan Desphande was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise for INR 20 Lakhs but has not been given a chance so far. This franchise is yet another example of struggling team in batting apart from captain Kohli and AB de Villiers , but not trying young talents.
6. Apoorv Wankhade (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Aproov Wankhade, wicketkeeper batsman for Vidarbha played a key role to win their maiden Ranji Trophy title in 2017/18 season and also the Irani Trophy title. He made his first class debut for Vidarbha in 2012 and played 11 matches with 487 runs at an average of 40.58.

He made his T20 debut in 2011 for Vidarbha and scored 699 runs from 40 matches at a strike rate of 129.68. In the 2018 IPL auction, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Apoorv Wankhade at INR 20 Lakhs. In the first few matches, though KKR struggled in batting , they did not try this experienced domestic talent. With 2 matches left and qualification hanging in balance, it is unlikely that Dinesh Karthik would venture to take any risk.
