New Delhi, March 21, 2025 – As the excitement builds for IPL 2025, starting tomorrow, all eyes will naturally gravitate towards the biggest names in cricket. But beyond the superstars lies a pack of uncapped Indian players hungry to make their mark on the grand stage. These young guns have shown promise in domestic cricket and previous IPL seasons, and now, they’re ready to shine in front of a global audience.
Here are 10 uncapped Indian players to watch closely in IPL 2025:
1. Ashutosh Sharma – Delhi Capitals
A destructive batter known for taking down even top bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Ashutosh made waves last season with Punjab Kings. This year, he’s with Delhi Capitals and is expected to play a key role, especially as an impact player.
2. Abdul Samad – Lucknow Super Giants
After several underwhelming seasons with Sunrisers Hyderabad, clean-hitter Abdul Samad now joins Lucknow. His domestic performances for Jammu & Kashmir suggest a breakthrough season might finally be on the cards.
3. Anshul Kamboj – Chennai Super Kings
This right-arm pacer stunned the domestic circuit by picking up all 10 wickets in a single Ranji innings. Previously with Mumbai, he now dons the yellow jersey of CSK and brings express pace to their bowling arsenal.
4. Vaibhav Suryavanshi – Rajasthan Royals
Just 13 years old and already making headlines, Vaibhav is the youngest player in the league. Bought for ₹1.10 crore, this Bihar-born prodigy has already scored a century in international youth cricket and could become the story of the season.
5. Naman Dhir – Mumbai Indians
Naman returns to Mumbai Indians after a solid showing in 2024. From a base price of ₹20 lakh to being retained at ₹5.5 crore, expectations are sky-high. Known for his aggressive batting, he’s one to watch in the middle order.
6. Nehal Wadhera – Punjab Kings
The stylish left-hander impressed with Mumbai Indians in 2023 and now joins Punjab Kings, who secured his services for ₹4.20 crore. With a strong domestic record, Nehal is likely to anchor the batting lineup.

A powerful left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman, Robin was sidelined due to injury last season. He’s now fit and raring to go, with his net practice sixes already going viral. Expect fireworks if he gets a chance.
8. Angkrish Raghuvanshi – Kolkata Knight Riders
Raghuvanshi grabbed attention with a 54-run blitz off 27 balls last season. Retained by KKR amid fierce bidding, he’s a dependable impact player and a key finisher for the Knights.

A 22-year-old Mumbai-based all-rounder, Suryansh impressed in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His explosive batting and handy medium pace make him a valuable asset for Punjab Kings this season.
