IPL continues to unearth new talents

IPL has been the perfect leeway, for all the players, who miss the chances, of representing their national side owing, to number constraints, to flaunt their abilities, to stake a claim into national reckoning.

If one can rewind to last year’s IPL, players like Shane Watson, Shaun Marsh, Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan , Prajhan Ojha, Amit Mishra, David Hussey came to spotlight from nowhere, owing to IPL and clasped their national berths.

IPL second edition is not going to be any different and for a player who is looking, to claim a place in national side, no other tournament can come parallel with IPL, in putting them under global spotlight.
Dirk Nannes, Australian fast bowler who has been contracted under Delhi Dare devils has been making headlines, not just because he precedes Mc Grath in place of playing XI but also with his feiry fast bowling and one need not be surprised, if his name features, in Australia’s Twenty 20 world cup squad.

He has replicated this kind of bowling for many years in Australian domestic circuit, but now selectors cannot emancipate, from considering his name, thanks to IPL live glitz and glamour.

Speaking about unearthing new talents, one cannot forget the name of Kamran Khan, Rajasthan Royal rookie bolwer from Uttar Pradesh, who rose, to limelight with his sheer determination and resoluteness, to earn a win for their team against Kolkata Knight Riders this season

If IPL hasn’t occurred, one can be cocksure, that these names would have gone unnoticed and unruffled. It’s not just Indian selectors who would be glued to TV sets, to discover real talents but even other country selectors would be interested, to find, how their national circuits relish on pressure and gauge them.

Even much before second season of IPL, Indian cheif selector Kris srikkanth made it clear, to media that IPL performance would count, for selction of T 20 world cup squad. Generally there has been huge criticism, who claim that plenty of cricketing talents are wasted because of lack of platform for them to flaunt their abilities and with arrival of ipl live score, may be they can take back those statements.

After this IPL, one may not raise eye brows, if names like Dirk Nannes, Kamran Khan, Tyagi, Jakati, Appanna don the national colours soon and IPL has not only left the spectators at their end of seats, even national selectors to wake up and unearth their national treasures.
