Full List of Emerging Players in the IPL

Raw talent that earned global fame. 

Since its inception in 2008, Indian Premier League (IPL) has been consistently succeeded as a new avenue for young, and often unknown players to emerge and shine through. Hence, keeping its core message "Talent meets opportunity" intact and stronger year after year.

However, like every other story, there is both a good and bad side of this early-age-limelight.

While some of these youngsters sustained the initial fame they earned, the number of players who either lagged or got lost in the sands of time are surprisingly higher than expected.

Watch the following video to find the past all seasons' shining stars, and let me know if any of the names has you surprised. In my case, it was the #1. :-)
