[cricketbazaar]

Neither Bradman nor Virat but this player is Best Batsman in the world ever

Cricket is considered one of the best sports in the world from its history till today. England is the father of cricket but nowadays it is popular all over the world, especially in Asian countries, its craze is different. Indian fans worship cricketers like Sachin, Dhoni, Gavaskar, Rohit, Kohli, Bumrah etc. But this does not happen only in India. Our neighboring countries Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh also do the same. But do you know why cricket is so popular in these countries? There are many great batsmen who came on the 22-yard pitch and created a different history. Cricket is considered a game of batsmen in the initial stages. Viv Richards, Sunil Gavaskar, Sir Gary Sobers, Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Jacques Kallis, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Joe Root are considered one of the best players in the world of cricket. They earned fame all over the world with their game. Some are called the Don of Cricket, while some took the title of God of Cricket.  But if one has to choose the best batsman of this game, then a dilemma arises. It is very difficult to choose one among them but according to the opinion of some cricket experts, Sachin Tendulkar is considered the best batsman in the world because his statistics testify to this. 

Sachin Tendulkar played 24 years for his Nation. He made his debut for India in 1989 against Pakistan while he played his last international match in 2013. He scored 34357 International Runs including 100 hundreds across all formats. He is the first player of the planet who hits a double hundred in ODI Cricket. He Played six 50 Over World Cup and 4 Champions Trophy. The Man whose fans cover thousands of miles to just watch him. Because of him, Modern Era Great Virat Kohli, World Champion captain MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and many other players started playing cricket. Not only India, world cricket's greatest batsman Kane Williamson also started his cricket career by watching Sachin Tendulkar. Apart from this, there are many players around the world who got inspired by this great player.

Sachin Tendulkar scored 15921 test runs including 51 centuries and 68 fifties. He scored 18426 ODI runs including 49 centuries and 96 fifties. He also played a T20 match against South Africa. Talking about Sachin, he has scored runs everywhere. If we look at his  international stats, his average is 42 in Australia, 49 in England, 43 in New Zealand, 41 in South Africa, 50+ average in Asian conditions and 47 in West Indies. He is a true cricketer. There are many great players who have been successful in their careers because of him. If we look at the batting records book, except for 2-4 records, Sachin has made all the records in his name at some time or the other. Sachin had a different aura in his time. Bowlers knew that if Sachin settled down at the crease, India would never lose the match. The world's best bowlers Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, Muttiah Muraldharan, Chaminda Vaas, Shane Bond, Daniel Vettori, James Anderson, Abdul Qadir, Saqlain Mushtaq etc. have also witnessed Sachin's master class at one time or another and now all of them praise Sachin's innings. if we see his cricket highlights today, it seems that Sachin is still playing for India.

i’ve seen a lot of doomposting about ferrari in the past two days and honestly i’ve done some of the doomposting - but i think i need a little more hope on my page and my feed. so i’m gonna tell a story.

the year is 2023, and the indian cricket team is undefeated in the ODI World Cup. we hadn’t won a world cup in 12 years- most of the guys on the winning squad are long-retired. and right at the very end, in the final match, we lost to australia. i sobbed my heart out with the players on the field, with a billion fans, and woke up the next morning with the determination that it would change nothing. they have my unconditional support anyway.

every news report was about how india always bottles. how we’re not a championship winning team. it was EVERYWHERE but we all knew the hope was worth it - we were already better than a decade ago.

we start the 2024 cup off less strong. they wrote us off. we win. we start the 2025 champion’s trophy off less strong. they wrote us off. we win. months and months of our players being acknowledged as the best bowlers in the sport, the best batsmen, the best all-rounders; and two international cups in as many years.

we keep the faith. sometimes a championship doesn’t look like a championship in the first rounds. sometimes we lose. we keep hoping. i know what that pit in your stomach feels like when you doubt- i feel it even now. it adds nothing. belief, on the other hand, is everything. there’s no reason not to hope for better in china, to believe in ferrari anyway.

Been having this idea rattle around my head for a bit:

Standard "What if the Shield Hero isn't Naofumi :0" AU, but the replacement is a very big, very annoyed and positively dangerous Ork Warboss from 40k who was busy beating Space Marines to death.

Everything is thrown off the rails as this Ork navigates his new life with the (forcibly awakened via rage-induced punch) Shield Spirit as his "helper", while everyone else has to figure out what to do with the massive green monster who seems to constantly bulldoze through everything and yet has the most dangerous trait an Ork can have: Keen intelligence (Well, by Ork Standards)

Is it stupid? Probably. But given that, to the best of my knowledge, no one's published 40k/Shield Hero crossovers, it'd certainly be novel.

What I would not give to read a fic like this, holy shit. I love this, this is amazing.

The amount of chaos this would end up including is just *chef's kiss*

This also just kinda gives me the idea that, despite the other Heroes thinking themselves better than everyone, especially the Ork Shield Hero, they're also very much intimidated by him, because, like. He's tall as fuck, build like the tank that he's supposed to be, and he keeps actually bulldozing down monsters during the Waves.

Also, HE KEEP RECRUITING OTHER MONSTERS TO HIS PARTY. It starts getting ridiculous how many monsters, beastmen, and demi-humans he adds to his party, but hey, he's an Ork; he's got the mindset of Orc Together Strong, which now extends to other beings. (They're terrifying during waves because he's not just recruiting land-based monsters, no siree. He's doing Land, Wind, and Ocean all.)

The other-world group are also shocked and slightly terrified when they see this large group of monsters, batsmen, demi-humans, and a few humans, all getting boosts from the Shield Hero's different shields, and very tightly-knit and protective of their own.

19th Nov || day114/150 ICC Men's Championship brainrot

Personal

👟 lots and lots of walking 🌱 breakfast and picnic with friends 🥛 water [6/6]

I didn't get any work done so im not sure how reasonable this is to include this in my 150dop list but lucky for me I make the rules so I'm adding it in here. I think i would like this post with my other dop posts because sometimes productivity is about goal setting and inspiration and I think I learnt/realized something very valuable from watching the Cricket World Cup this year (brainrot under the cut)

I come from a family, a community, a country obsessed with cricket, so it's no surprise that when our team makes it to the finals, we all stay home to watch, hoping, praying, eagerly awaiting the trophy. To add to it all, the matches were held here, at home ground, and we had won by huge margins up until the finals. I could go on about what a bummer yesterday's match was or how most members of our team would be retired by the time the next world cup comes around so they'll never get this close to victory again or the emotional outrage of the nation as a whole but you know what? I actually want to talk about the Australian Men's Cricket Team.

Australia is one of the most successful teams in one day international cricket so far, winning 6 out of 13 total world cups, and being the only team to win a championship in every region the game has been played in. They are frustrating to play against, and from the moment we realized that they might get qualified for the finals, a lot of us started panicking.

Unlike India, Australia did not start the tournament with a win streak. They weren't used to the pitch of our stadiums and it affected their first couple games. Their first match was against India and their second match was against South Africa (for which they were heavily criticized for their poor fielding) and they lost both by huge margins. But once they started getting the hang of the game on our grounds, they were performing immensely better. They won every match since their third, steadily improving on all aspects of their game.

I wasn't paying too much attention to their team until two games before their finals when they were playing against Afghanistan. The latter had put up a good score in their first innings and Australia was struggling to keep up in the second, only to end up losing a lot of wickets. The score was 91-7 and it really seemed like they were gonna lose because all their strong batsmen were out except for Glenn Maxwell.

At this point things started to take a turn. Afghanistan started getting overconfident or overeager or something and it was showing in their messy fielding and dropped catches. To add to that, Glenn Maxwell was hitting phenomenal shots left and right. Despite struggling with horrible muscle cramps (to the point where he kind of convulsed and fell to the ground in the middle of the game), Maxwell refused to leave the ground and he singlehandedly managed to score 200 runs, winning Australia the match that would qualify them for the semi-finals. The crowd loved him, we cheered him on as he hit the winning shot.

It was at this point that something hit me, something that I kind of knew subconsciously about Aus but was never able to pinpoint- the hunger. In every subsequent game i noticed how they played- with so much eagerness for the game, like every ball was their last. And while they have phenomenal batsmen and bowlers, their true hunger for the game was revealed in their fielding. They run behind the ball even when it seems long gone, they sprint like athletes to block boundaries and dive in for catches and run outs. It's the one thing that sets their game apart compared to every other team- that hunger, that eagerness. Finals or otherwise, they have their eyes locked in on the ball, and they do everything in their power to learn how to play it in a way that works best for them.

(Also can we talk about David Warner for a second- this man is 36 and lunges towards the ball at such batshit speeds, bringing down opponent scores by 20 or more runs every time. He is easily one of the best fielders in world cup cricket)

So when Australia was facing off South Africa yet again (this time in the Semi-Finals), they were leagues ahead of where they were when they started, and winning almost came easy. And as for the finals against India, the minute Travis Head ran and dove onto the ground like a maniac to get his hands under the ball and get Rohit Sharma out, a lot of us had realized it. Australia was taking home the world cup yet again.

(oh and Travis Head also went on to score 137 runs in the second innings and won player of the match. What a phenomenal cricketer)

So yeah. A success story through and through, thoroughly inspiring that Aus learnt from their two losses and turned them into massive wins the next time. What a tournament. What a game. What a team. I aspire to be that hungry for learning, that enthusiastic to improve, and that engrossed in every task I do.

7/final 42 // like the Adidas motto, life is not a spectator sport. a question running through my mind- what makes me hungry?

100 Not Out

There is this intriguing young man named Travis Bazzanna who was the number one pick in all of baseball last year, and who was chosen by the Cleveland Guardians and given a $8.9 million dollar signing bonus to play for them. What makes Travis unique is he represents the first Australian-born player picked in the first round and the first second baseman chosen in the top spot. As of now, Travis has already been promoted to Cleveland’s “Double A” Akron team to begin his first full year with the club. 

The twenty-two-year-old Bazzanna, known affectionately by his Oregon State teammates as “Bazz”, was immersed in the game of baseball by his father, Gary, whilst still a young lad in Sydney. In the land of cricket where according to Brian Hamilton of The Atlantic – “He was the baseball kid, per local shorthand, in a country without many of them”, Travis excelled in the other bat and ball sport helping his New South Wales teammates to become Baseball State Champs, and Bazzanna representing his country in the 2022 under 23 year old Baseball World Cup. 

The six foot one hundred ninety-six-pound young man, though, credits his youth playing cricket for setting the foundation of his current success. He was his team’s wicket keeper (catcher), the only position permitted to wear a “mitt”, as well as their opening batsman. In an “innings” in the game of cricket, which might last days, if you are caught out “cheaply” IE: for not many runs, there can be a long wait until a player gets another opportunity to bat. Therefore, Travis learned quickly to recognize “pitches”, as in where they start and where they are going to end up. He has spent his young career totally focused on perfecting every impact of the game of baseball, and with all the information available to him, he’s reported as saying, “I go up with a clear, confident mind and a plan to better that pitcher.” This approach has certainly worked as he currently holds eight Oregon State career records. 

Travis isn’t the first “Ozzie” to play professional baseball in the United States. Joe Quinn gets that designation for his time playing between 1884 to 1901, the latter years being associated with the Cleveland Spiders. And despite Bazzanna’s time in his native country playing both cricket and rugby, he is not considered one of Australia’s elite cricketers. The greatest cricketer of all time, Sir Donald Bradman, had a legendary batting average of 99.94 and remains to this day unmatched. Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh were tenacious batsmen, and one can never forget the crucial captaincy of Allan Border during the Australian cricketing years of dominance (1990’s thru to the 2000’s). Those were the years when I was introduced to this fascinating sport and became an avid fan, albeit with the archrivals, The New Zealand Black Caps. One can’t make a list of Australian cricketing greats without inadvertently missing out men of well-deserved mention; Dennis Lillee, Glen McGrath, Adam Gilchrist, and the list could go on and on.  

I have purposely not mentioned an Australian cricket icon until now. Shane Warne was an extraordinary spin bowler (pitcher) for Australia during those same heyday years. Whether a bowler is barreling down the pitch to heave the ball as hard as he can toward the batsman or a spin bowler who skips and hops, pretty much in one place, before tossing the ball so that it resembles a butterfly in the air, the main goal of a bowler is to establish “line and length”. Line referring to the placement of the ball in relationship to where the batsman is standing. Length is determining where in the pitch (dirt) to bounce the ball so that it lifts up on the batter. Combining the right line and length gives the bowler the best chance of either getting a swing and miss from the batter and possibly dislodging his wicket or inducing the batter to nick the ball as it passes through to the wicketkeeper for a “caught out”. Shane Warne introduced to the cricket world his “googly”, which he would throw with the fingertips of his right hand. He would aim the ball so that it would possibly land in a crack or seam of the hard-pack dirt surface causing even more uncertainty of where his delivery would end up. Needless to say, Warne was one of the most effective bowlers in cricketing history. 

A batsman playing cricket has an entirely different approach to the game. Most require several deliveries before they settle in and feel comfortable at “the crease” - home base if you will. The batsman’s goal is to get a feel of what the bowler is offering and then begin to methodically score runs for their team. Their first plateau is to collect fifty runs, and then they set their sights on getting a 100 not out next to their name on the board. I’ve always felt it unfair that once a batsman scores a “50”, there’s no other record of achievement for him unless he carries on and records 100 runs. In other words, a batsman given out with 97 runs to his name simply gets a “50” in the summary of the game - not much different I guess, than Bradman’s aforementioned average being 99.94 instead of being rounded up to 100.  

Batsmen don’t stride to the crease with a mindset of scoring one hundred runs but batting for as long as they can and scoring as many runs as possible. Enter the kiwi batting legend, Martin Crowe who made his test match debut at the age of nineteen against Australia in 1982. Crowe recorded seventeen 100’s and eighteen 50’s throughout his career but is best known for his top score of 299 in Sri Lanka in 1991, which remains today the high watermark for a New Zealand cricketer. Travis Bazzaman who was born in 2002 wasn’t even a twinkle in his father’s eye in 1991, but that same Martin Crowe mental grit that had him settled in at the crease and determined to score as many runs for as long as possible, is evident in this young man. 

I can tell you of someone else who is currently 100 not out and displaying this same mindset to settle in at the crease for as long as possible; Donald Trump. That is, of course 100 days, but still looking very comfortable in the White House with no intention of leaving anytime soon. Here’s an inventory of Trump’s trophy achievements to date, and no, this is not an exhaustive list. 

He promised to root out DEI and in doing so, all federal agencies have removed “offensive”, but albeit cultural identities. Oh, and universities are being singled out one at a time to conform to Trump’s and Maga’s agenda or risk losing all of their federal funding 

Large law firms who have previously represented anti-Trump clients are being picked off one at a time as well. Forced to choose between their short-term bottom line and their principles, many firms have agreed to a heavily Trump-favored conditioned “deal” where they thought their one-off offer of millions of dollars of pro-bono representation for his personal causes has actually morphed into Trump strong arming these firms to do his legal bidding for as long as he chooses. 

Pressure directly from the White House is being applied onto the country’s various “Non-Trump” media board rooms to remove correspondents and anti-Trump reporting. If backroom strong arming doesn’t achieve his desired result of shutting down any resistance to his will, then he calls upon his aforementioned pro-bono lawyers to file frivolous $10 billion lawsuits on his behalf. 

“Tariffs” is a beautiful word according to our leader. It appears in his desire to re-shape the world’s economic and supply-chain order, he has placed tariffs on 100 countries, even uninhabited South Pacific islands. Then, the tariff threat was called off, only to hold the world markets in suspense for 90 days until he feels the time is right to upend the world’s economic well-being. Bottom line, we are going to wear the economic burden of an aberrant policy that only Peter Navarro would love. 

The stock markets around the world have already expressed their opinion of Trump’s economic policies. The deep dive flirting with “bear market” territory resembles that last witnessed during the Great Depression. The problem here is that few folks who actually survived the Great Depression are alive today to vividly remind us of the results of this folly of an economic policy. Here’s the kicker – many of the Trump supporters last year voted for him in the hope he would make the economy better for everyone. It appears only billionaires, like Elon Musk, are going to be benefactors. 

So, enlighten me, who cast their vote for Trump last year in support of Canada being chastised to become our 51st state and Greenland threatened to be subsumed, much like Russia has been doing to the Ukranian people? There’s not enough space to recount all our international allies who now view the USA as potential enemies, and certainly no longer a beacon of democracy and freedom. 

Now you see them, now you don’t! Another popular Trump platform was to beef up our nation’s borders and deport the criminal illegal immigrants. Sounds like a popular policy until innocent people begin to be abducted and disappear, some even admittedly mistakenly deported to El Salvador’s most notorious prison. Edicts from Federal courtrooms, even the Supreme Court, have not made a bit of difference in these “disappeared” people’s situation. To make matters worse, plain-clothed vigilantes are posing as ICE agents and arresting any brown-skinned person they come across. I’m not making this **** up! Bottom line – in today’s America – anyone could come up missing at any given time. 

But our democratic government finds its strength in shared, counter-balancing power of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. However, in case after case where the executive (order) overreach has been ruled unconstitutional, our Republican Congress acquiesces in its power to be a check on unrestrained power and our courts are left to simply inform the Trump administration, “Don’t do that!” - all the while fearing their judicial courtroom will be defunded and erode out from under them like sand in an outgoing tide.  

There are many other gold-gilded trophies on the mantel in the Oval Office, over one hundred thousand fired federal employees and many shuttered federal agencies and departments to name just a few. And despite 59% of Americans in a recent poll stating that Trump has made their lives worse, Donald Trump is taking a victory lap for all that he has achieved in his first 100 days in office. Putting aside how he has changed this country, as in with a firehose of disinformation, destruction and a desperate overreach for power, give Trump credit for implementing many of the Project 2025 policies in record time. If ever there is a Presidential Hall of Infamy, he’d be a unanimous choice as the first inductee. What is becoming obvious to many after this 100-day period is that his thirst for power, vengeance and total domination is insatiable. 

However, by focusing totally on Trump and Musk with his chainsaw antics, we are taking our eyes off the ball, and Travis Bazzanna can attest that this is not a good approach if you are intent of seeing yourself through this difficult innings in our country’s history.  

I personally am recalling how Stephen Covey introduced me years ago to his “Paradigm Shift” theory. It was a career-changing concept then, and it helps me put things into perspective now. In short, if the changes from these past 100 days alarm you or have personally affected you, remember that Donald Trump and his sycophants are only implementing what the majority of Americans wanted him to do last November. Get This! MAGA existed long before Trump happened upon the national political scene. Early on he was in search of a cause that would usher him into the White House, and he found it! A vast number of disaffected Americans who yearned for America First policies that most times harmed those who were needy and those who do not adhere to the white supremacist male philosophy. For decades, their deep-seated prejudices were held in check by a culture which frowned upon openly discussing such topics in public. With Donald Trump, all that changed and it became even better, as Trump became the embodiment of all they held dearly, though privately, all these years. You want to know what a paradigm shift looks like? The angst some Americans have felt since Trump’s election should not be confined to what the President is going to do next, but that millions of Americans agree with what he is doing! A recent poll of independent voters who confirmed that they had voted for Trump, when asked if today, would they do so again, each and every one of them said yes! Many had concerns over his handling of the economy or deportations, but even with their reservation, they would vote for him again. Get This! This is the face of America; unfiltered, unvarnished, unveiled. 

What about the tens of thousands of Americans who are out protesting each week and on actively coordinated weekends, millions of Americans show up to protest what’s been happening in their lives and to this country? Well, we know Trump is a transactional, bottom-line businessman, or so we are led to believe. If I’m in the White House and I count two million people who hate what I’ve been doing, I look at the other side of the ledger. There are roughly 350 million people in this country. Anyone could surmise that there are hundreds of millions of people who either support him or just don’t care. The most recent polls show, though, that at least 59% of the people disapprove of what Trump is doing. The question becomes then what portion of America will acquiesce, Hitler/Germany style, and what portion will remain silently concerned or abhorred at what he is doing, and what portion of our country will actively resist, which will then leave us with those who are diehard Trump supporters to the death? The last time a President’s approval rating was as low as Trump’s after his first 100 days, was FDR’s third term, which occurred in the heart of the depression. What eventually transpired from these dire polling results? FDR was elected to an unprecedented fourth term of office. 

The facts are Trump after 100 days in office is “not out” and more importantly, he is looking as confident as ever in completing his mission to implement the Project 2025 mantra. If Trump were a cricket batsman, he is looking to remain at the crease for as long as possible, and for those who are counting the days for the expiration of his term, think again!  

Thinking beyond here and now, we are only one year out from the 250th anniversary of our country’s accepted birthdate. All those years ago principles were put in place, checks and balances hammered out by our founding fathers who sought to project a constitutional democracy into the future. Their fear of an autocratic dictator is what motivated them to draft a governmental statement that would recognize the rights and freedoms of the citizenry. And just like a cricketing batsman who is poised at 249 not out, our country will not be simply accredited its 250th anniversary if one year shy, we must acknowledge that as a country, we are not a constitutional democracy after all but prefer the whims of an autocratic dictator. 

Nobody can predict the future, but while I still have the freedom to watch Travis Bazzaman play locally, that’s what I intend on doing. I want to see what the good side of “100 not out” looks like.

Top 5 Best Indian Uncapped Players in IPL History

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been a golden platform for raw talent to shine. While international stars often grab the limelight, it’s the uncapped Indian players who steal hearts with their fearless performances. These youngsters, with no prior international exposure, have made a big mark on the biggest T20 stage in the world. In this blog, we explore the Top 5 Best Indian Uncapped Players in IPL History — players who turned heads with their extraordinary skills and made the most of their IPL opportunity.

1. Rahul Tewatia – The Comeback King

No list of the best Indian uncapped players in IPL history is complete without Rahul Tewatia. Known for his incredible calmness under pressure, Tewatia became a household name after one historic night in IPL 2020.

Tewatia’s Defining Moment:

Chasing a mammoth total, Tewatia hit 5 sixes in one over off Sheldon Cottrell, scripting a miraculous win for Rajasthan Royals.

Apart from his power-hitting, he’s also a handy leg-spinner and an excellent fielder.

Tewatia’s journey proves that you don’t need an India cap to be an IPL legend — you just need the nerves of steel.

2. Natarajan T – The Yorker Specialist

While he later made it to the Indian team, T. Natarajan burst onto the scene as an uncapped sensation with Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020. His lethal yorkers earned him the nickname “Yorker King” and he became a crucial part of SRH’s bowling unit.

Natarajan’s IPL Impact:

Bowled the most yorkers in a single IPL season (over 60 in IPL 2020).

Played a key role in SRH’s qualification to the playoffs.

At the time of his breakout, Natarajan was still uncapped, and his performance under pressure was simply world-class. His IPL heroics were so impressive that he got fast-tracked into the Indian national side.

3. Devdutt Padikkal – The Stylish Southpaw

When Devdutt Padikkal walked into the Royal Challengers Bangalore side in 2020, fans didn’t know what to expect. But what followed was pure class and confidence. As an uncapped Indian player, he topped the run charts for RCB that season.

What Makes Padikkal Special:

Scored over 400 runs in his debut IPL season, including multiple fifties.

His elegant stroke play, especially through the off-side, caught everyone’s eye.

Shared crucial partnerships with stars like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.

Padikkal’s consistency as an uncapped player was a rare sight, and he was soon marked as a future India opener.

4. Varun Chakravarthy – The Mystery Spinner

IPL 2020 was a breakthrough season for many, but Varun Chakravarthy stood out with his mysterious spin for Kolkata Knight Riders. A soft-spoken architect-turned-cricketer, Varun had a dream year while still being uncapped.

Chakravarthy’s Rise:

Took 5 wickets in a single match vs Delhi Capitals — one of the best spells by an uncapped Indian bowler.

Became KKR’s lead spinner, ahead of established names like Kuldeep Yadav.

Bamboozled batsmen with his variations — leg-spin, googlies, and carrom balls.

His performance earned him a spot in the Indian T20 squad later, but his rise as an uncapped star was truly special.

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal – From Tents to Triumph

The story of Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of grit, hunger, and talent. From selling pani puri on Mumbai streets to opening the batting for Rajasthan Royals, his journey is inspirational.

Jaiswal’s Breakthrough:

Scored the fastest fifty in IPL history (13 balls) in IPL 2023.

Consistently provided explosive starts at the top, even while facing the world’s best bowlers.

His fearless attitude and elegant stroke-making made him one of the best Indian uncapped batsmen in IPL.

He has now earned an India cap, but during his early IPL days, Jaiswal was the perfect example of how the IPL can change lives.

Honorable Mentions

While the above five stole the show, many other Indian uncapped players in IPL have also delivered memorable performances:

Ruturaj Gaikwad – Now capped, but his performance in IPL 2020 and 2021 as an uncapped player was sublime.

Shivam Dube – Showed glimpses of brilliance with the bat and ball.

Harpreet Brar – Dismissed big names like Kohli, de Villiers, and Maxwell in a single match.

Umran Malik – Delivered express pace for SRH before getting his India call-up.

Why Indian Uncapped Players Are Crucial to IPL’s Success

The success of the IPL isn’t just in the sixes and star power — it’s in the discovery of Indian talent. These uncapped players bring energy, unpredictability, and hunger to the game. They prove that you don’t need an international reputation to shine — just performance and passion.

Here’s why they matter:

They balance the squads with local flair and raw talent.

Offer incredible value for money — often becoming match-winners at a fraction of a senior player’s cost.

Keep the league fresh and exciting with new stories every season.

Final Thoughts

The Top 5 Best Indian Uncapped Players in IPL History have not only made headlines but also won hearts. Their rise through the ranks is proof that the IPL is more than just a tournament — it’s a dream factory for Indian cricket.

Whether it’s Tewatia’s six-hitting heroics, Natarajan’s yorkers, or Jaiswal’s inspiring journey, these players represent the true spirit of the league. They may not have started with an India jersey, but they played like champions — fearless, fierce, and unforgettable.
