Nitish Rana, Devdutt Padikkal, Rituraj Gaikwad, Krishnappa Gautam, Varun Chakravarthy and Chetan Sakariya have never played for Team India before.  Out of these six, Varun is the only player who has been selected in Team India before, but due to fitness issues, he could not play for Team India.

Gowtham, Padikkal, Gaekwad have impressed with their performances in the last two IPL seasons, while Nitish Rana has been in great form over the years. Chetan Sakariya's name is a bit surprising but the 23-year-old has impressed a lot with his bowling in IPL 2021.Photo Courtesy: BCCI / IPL
