2) RISHABH PANT

This young man has been in the form of his life right from when he hit the fastest century in the Ranji Trophy followed by the youngest triple centurion in Ranji Trophy. He has carried his form into the IPL where he has played a couple of scintillating knocks, the latest being against the Gujarat Lions at Delhi where he scored 97 runs and took his team across the line. He has hit 281 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 172.39 hitting 20 fours and 20 sixes.

He has been aggressive and unapologetic in his approach showing that he is the future of Indian cricket. To see his spot being taken by his senior, Shikhar Dhawan, would be extremely disappointing for Pant. He is one man who has done all the things right and is extremely unlucky to miss out on a berth.
