There has been enough talks about the stars whose names would go under the hammer at the IPL auction 2026 on December 16, but there has hardly been any chatter about the young talent at display. There are T20 leagues all across India, where some little-known names have already made a mark.
All the franchises would have already marked their players who could either serve them for a long time, or be groomed for the future. After all, that is one of the main pillars of IPL. InsideSport takes a look at some of those names.
