Expensive Uncapped Player: The Indian Premier League has given the younger generation of India many opportunities to show their talent and worth. An uncapped player gets a chance to be with the cricketing icons and legends and even share the same dressing room with them.
The IPL is also known as the cash-rich league tournament because money also plays an important part in the mini and mega auctions. If a player gets an IPL contract, then that is a living scenario for him because many of the uncapped and younger players don’t have the facilities and support to play the game of cricket.
The youngsters can also represent the national side one fine day if they perform well in the domestic matches and the Indian Premier League. Rishabh Pant is the most capped expensive player in this cash-rich league tournament. However, today we shall let our viewers know about the most expensive uncapped player in the history of the IPL.
Avesh Khan Is The Most Expensive Uncaaped Player In The History Of The Indian Premier League –
