IPL’s youngsters

A lot has already been written and said about many aspects of IPL. The money drawn in in the tournament, the overseas players who are involved, the sixes that are being struck, the pitiful condition of the bowlers, the slap-gate episode, etc. But IPL was also considered to be a platform for the young Indian players to showcase their talents. For many it was their sole opportunity to play alongside some of the game's greatest. A lot of them have risen to the occasion and shown real promise. Here's a list of players who have made some name for themselves:
