The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some phenomenal youngsters mesmerising the cricket fraternity with their remarkable skill sets.
One of the best things about IPL 2025 is that most teams have relied on young players instead of being overly dependent on overseas stars. Indian fans can rest assured that the national team’s future is bright, with so many budding talents proving that they belong at this level.
Each of the 10 teams has unearthed at least one uncapped talent who can serve them for many years to come. In this article, CricTracker looks at three highly skilled uncapped Indian players in the IPL 2025 edition.
Three highly-skilled uncapped Indian players in IPL 2025:
3. Vipraj Nigam
Vipraj Nigam made his IPL debut this season with Delhi Capitals. India has produced many finger spinners who can bat; however, not too many wrist spinners with batting capabilities have come through the ranks. Rahul Tewatia comes to mind, but he has largely stopped bowling in recent years, especially in the IPL. In international cricket, the likes of Rashid Khan and Wanindu Hasaranga have excelled in both facets of the game.
Nigam, 20, played 13 matches, picking up nine wickets at an average of 35.33 and an economy rate of 9.09. With the bat, he scored 142 runs at a strike rate of 179.75. The Uttar Pradesh cricketer has the potential to represent India for several years because of his all-round skills. His control with the ball is exemplary, and he appears to thrive in pressure situations with the bat. Nigam is also a solid fielder, and his catch to dismiss Will Jacks in Delhi’s game against the Mumbai Indians on 21 May highlights this strength.
