The start to this year's Indian Premier League has been dominated again by young Indian players who are looking to catch the eye of national selectors through their performances.
RCB pace bowler Harshal Patel, who became the first bowler to take a five-wicket haul against MI, KKR batsman Nitish Rana, who made 80 off 56 against SRH and DC pacer Avesh Khan, who took two wickets and bowled tightly in the middle overs against CSK, haven't yet played for India although they have been playing domestic cricket for quite some time.

If they continue performing in this season's IPL with consistency it won't come as a surprise if they make the India team very soon.
The national selection committee, in the recent past, hasn't been reluctant to give opportunities to IPL performers. Washington Sundar, T Natarajan (who debuted in all formats in Australia recently), Rahul Chahar, Deepak Chahar in the recent past, and Jasprit Bumrah a few years back all proved their credentials in the Indian Premier League before shining in India colors.
The franchise that has contributed massively in recent times is Mumbai Indians. Apart from Chahar and Bumrah, they recently supplied Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan to the Indian team. Both the batsmen proved successful in the limited-overs series against England, winning games for India.
