The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a massive platform where young talents get the much-needed platform to express themselves freely and prove what they are capable of. Since its inception 12 years ago, the IPL has nurtured some of the raw talents successfully around the globe to provide the international teams with a new dimension. It has ended up turning their lives around.
Not only the cricketers have ensured themselves being in the radar for international selection, but also their livelihoods get a whole lot better. The opportunity of playing with top-notch cricketers and learning continuously for them keeps increasing their skill level and preparing for them sturdy challenges ahead. Hence, the introduction of extravaganza has given birth to several new names announcing themselves to the world in style.
We take a look at five finds of IPL 2020 as it came to a close:
Shivam Mavi:
Shivam Mavi announced himself as one of the promising quick bowlers for India in the next few years to follow. Shivam Mavi bowled with skill and precision for the Kolkata Knight Riders, sharing the new ball with Pat Cummins and often creating early inroads for the other bowlers to capitalize.
The 21-year old gained enough seam movement in the initial overs to ask challenging questions to the batsmen. In eight matches, Shivam Mavi picked up nine wickets, which was a sharp improvement from the 2018 season of five scalps in nine games. If the youngster could manage his injuries efficiently, his rise could be hard to stop.
