The Indian Premier League is often considered the biggest platform for youth, where good performing players get both recognition and opportunity, but not every story is that simple. There are many players in Indian domestic cricket who have consistently performed brilliantly, yet they have not got a chance to play in the IPL.
Dharmendrasingh Jadeja: Pile of wickets, still ignored
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja is an experienced spinner of Saurashtra and his record in domestic cricket has been excellent. He has more than 500 wickets in his name. Despite taking 423 wickets in first class cricket and 121 wickets in List-A, he never got a chance in IPL. Even in T20, his economy has been around 7, which is considered quite good in this format.
Abhimanyu Easwaran: Run machine, but away from IPL
Abhimanyu Eshwar is considered a reliable batsman in domestic cricket. He has scored more than 8000 runs in First Class and more than 4000 runs in List-A. His average and strike rate are strong in T20 also. Despite this, he has not been able to debut in IPL yet.
Priyank Panchal: 14 thousand runs, still waiting
Priyank Panchal’s name is also in this list. This batsman from Gujarat has scored more than 14 thousand runs and 37 centuries in domestic cricket. Despite such excellent figures, neither did he get a chance in Team India nor did any franchise bet on him in the IPL.
Chama Milind: Was in the team, but did not get a chance
Chama Milind’s case is a little different. He was a part of many IPL teams, but he did not get a chance to play even a single match. This left arm fast bowler has more than 100 wickets in his name in T20 cricket. Not only this, he has also achieved the feat of taking 5 wicket hauls twice. Even after this performance he did not get a chance to play IPL.
Why are such players left out?
Selection in IPL is not based on statistics alone. Many factors like team combination, brand value, and investment in young players also play an important role. This is the reason why many times even players who perform well consistently remain away from this league.
