There are countless young cricketers in India chasing a dream and waiting patiently for their day in the sun. Until recently, not many have been able to make it to the top, with the Tests and ODIs being the only avenues.

But now the game has opened up and its latest version, the professional Indian Premier League (IPL), has rewritten the rules of the game. A new crop of younger players is hogging the limelight.

Manpreet Gony, Ashok Dinda, Abhishek Nayar and Wridhiman Saha would not have been known outside their own restricted zone unless they got into the national reckoning. But the IPL has made them the exciting new talent of Indian cricket.

Halfway through the inaugural Twenty20 tournament, these little-known domestic players are not only rubbing shoulders with the big stars of international cricket but are also among the most sought after.

The emerging talent from the IPL may or may not be dominating Test or One-Day cricket, but they will be part of the big IPL show for some more years.

Here we feature the brightest of them. Page 2: Ashok Dinda
