The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), like its predecessors, witnessed a breakout season for several uncapped Indian players. This year, the focus was particularly on batsmen who had previously been overlooked at the domestic level. These uncapped players have not only impressed with their batting prowess but also showcased the depth of talent in Indian cricket.

Their success story is an inspiration for aspiring youngsters, proving that dedication and hard work can pave the way for success on the biggest stage.

Here’s a look at the top 5 run-scorers among these uncapped Indian stars:

#1 Abhishek Sharma (SRH)

Traded for Shikhar Dhawan by SRH four years ago, Sharma finally found his footing. The left-handed opener amassed a staggering 482 runs in 15 innings, averaging 34.43. His consistent performances are a major reason SRH reached the finals.

#2 Riyan Parag (RR)

After trials with several franchises, Singh rose from the ashes to become a mainstay for Punjab’s struggling batting lineup. The Chhattisgarh all-rounder smashed 354 runs at a healthy average of 44.25 and a blistering strike rate of 164.65.

#3 Shashank Singh (PBKS)

A player who previously bounced between teams like SRH and DC without a fixed home, Singh found redemption with Punjab Kings. The Chhattisgarh all-rounder emerged as a crucial batsman for their otherwise struggling batting line-up, scoring 354 runs at a healthy average of 44.25 and a strike rate of 164.65.

#4 Abhishek Porel (DC)

Originally intended as a backup for Rishabh Pant, Porel grabbed his opportunity when it came. Stepping in for the injured Pant, he impressed everyone with his batting, scoring 327 runs in 12 innings for Delhi Capitals.

#5 Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS)

While not as consistent as others, Prabhsimran still managed to contribute 334 runs in all his matches. His two fifties and a strike rate of 156.8 suggest a promising future.
