Indian Premier League (IPL) has become the highlight of cricket in the country over the last ten years. Started in the year 2008, this cash-rich tournament has been a launchpad for numerous hidden and lesser-known talents in Indian cricket. Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj, Shreya Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav and Rishab Pant are some of the names who showcased their potential in IPL and got the opportunity to don the Indian jersey in different formats. After a long span of ten years, a bunch of big players have been released from their franchises for fresh auctions ahead of IPL 2018.

Since it’s expected that the forthcoming season, which starts from April 4, 2018, will be much more exciting, let’s have a look at the heroics of the players who made this tournament no less than a festival for the Indian cricket fans:
