His father Pranav Pandey, is a builder by profession. Ishan's brother Raj, supported him in pursuing cricket as career. Due to registration issue between Bihar Cricket Association and the BCCI, Ishan started playing for neighbouring state Jharkhand upon an advice by a senior player and friend.

3. Arman Jaffer

The nephew of former Indian Test opener Wasim Jaffer, Arman Jaffer grabbed the headlines after scoring three consecutive double hundreds in the U-19 Cooch Behar Trophy in December.Like his uncle he also likes to score big runs.He is a different type of cricketer whose strength is timing the ball not power. Jaffer hails from the same school as Sarfaraz Khan but is a different cricketer and is far more traditional and sedate in his run scoring. His hunger for runs is evident – he once scored 498 for his school in 2010. At 17, Jaffer is yet to make his first-class debut. But with plenty of prodigious talent, this IPL could be his chance to stake a claim for a bigger stage.

4. Zeeshan Ansari

Zeeshan Ansari is a leg spinner  who has modelled himself on the likes of Australian great Shane Warne.He hails from Aliganj,U.P.He has come a long way since rebelling against his disapproving father who wanted him to go into the family's tailoring business in his hometown.The 16-year old is a late bloomer – he only made his debut last year for the Uttar Pradesh U-19 team. But in the span of a few months, he has displayed a knack for taking wickets, highlighted by a best of 8/39. His wicket-taking ability resulted in a call-up to the India U-19 squad. Leg-spinners are always a valuable commodity in t20 cricket with their ability to take wickets.He will be hoping for his IPL contract this year.

5. Avesh Khan

Avesh khan is a swing bowler for Indian under 19 team.He is known to provide breakthough in strting overs of match with new ball.Although he is not that quick but he has got a very good action and can swing the ball.In a country with scarce fast bowling resources, any new pacer is immediately scrutinised. So it was no surprise when Avesh Khan made news at the 2014 edition of the U-19 World Cup when one of his deliveries in a match against Pakistan was clocked at close to 140 kilometres per hour. Now aged 19, Khan will be playing his second U-19 World Cup and will hope to make the leap to the IPL this year.
