<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/642525.html">Sarfaraz Khan</a></b> <b>Age</b>: 17y 177d<br><b>Teams</b>: Royal Challengers Bangalore<br><b>What he's done</b>: He hit the headlines as a <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/433020.html">12-year-old</a>, breaking the record for the highest score in the Harris Shield inter-school tournament in Mumbai. He went on to <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-under-19-world-cup-2014/content/story/718683.html">represent India</a> in the 2014 Under-19 World Cup, and made his Ranji Trophy debut later that year. Royal Challengers <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-under-19-world-cup-2014/content/story/718683.html">signed him</a> for his big-hitting ability, and he got early IPL success with a quickfire 45 <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2015/engine/match/829763.html">against Rajasthan Royals</a>: a knock that featured both the scoop and the ramp.

<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/279545.html">Pradeep Sangwan</a></b> <b>Age</b>: 17y 179d<br><b>Teams</b>: Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders<br><b>What he's done</b>: The first among India's victorious 2008 Under-19 squad to be picked at the auction, Sangwan played 28 matches for Daredevils in the first three seasons. He hardly got an opportunity after moving to Knight Riders, and had to serve a ban for failing a <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/796941.html">dope test</a> during the 2013 IPL Indian Premier League

<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/446499.html">Unmukt Chand</a></b> <b>Age</b>: 18y 15d<br><b>Teams</b>: Delhi Daredevils, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians<br><b>What he's done</b>: Having made a few appearances for Daredevils in 2011 and 2012, Chand shot into prominence after he <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-under19-world-cup-2012/content/story/579478.html">led India</a> to the 2012 Under-19 World Cup title. His IPL career has been fairly muted, with his <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/829737.html">first fifty</a> coming in 2015 for Mumbai Indians BCCI
<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/391121.html">Kamran Khan</a></b> <b>Age</b>: 18y 39d<br><b>Teams</b>: Rajasthan Royals, Pune Warriors<br><b>What he's done</b>: It was a fairytale start for Kamran: a village boy with no first-class experience who <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/401129.html">hit the limelight</a> thanks to Rajasthan Royals' famously unconventional scouting. However, his slingy action was <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/402807.html">reported</a>, and he was not able to replicate his initial success. He has not featured in the IPL after a solitary game for Warriors in 2011, but he made his <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/engine/match/590823.html">first-class debut</a> for Sri Lankan side Colts in 2013 IPL
<b><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/398506.html">Mandeep Singh</a></b> <b>Age</b>: 18y 94d<br><b>Teams</b>: Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers Bangalore<br><b>What he's done</b>:After a couple of quiet seasons (2010 with Knight Riders and 2011 with Kings XI), Mandeep's IPL fortunes changed in 2012: he was Punjab's <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2012/content/story/564789.html">leading run-getter</a> and was adjudged the 'rising star' of the tournament. After having played all games in 2013, he was mostly benched in 2014, and moved to Bangalore in 2015 BCCI
