#1 Yuvraj Singh

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy

The six sixes record holder, the Player of the 2011 World Cup, the most expensive pick of IPL, Yuvraj Singh, which is a brand name in Indian cricket has been lately struggling to find a spot in Indian cricket team.

The southpaw scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets in 2011 World Cup and was one of the strong parts in India's journey to win the Trophy. The 36-year-old last played an ODI for India in June 2017.

Yuvraj has recently shown some form for Punjab in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the majority of matches so far, he has been among the runs. He fired a match-winning knock of 96 runs against Railways while chipped in with cameos of 48 and 41 against Himachal and Vidarbha respectively.

If he continues his form, we might soon see him back in the Indian colours and who knows could appear for India in the upcoming World Cup as well.

The hero of the 2011 World Cup finals, Gautam Gambhir has shared success for India in all the three formats. He owns 4154 Test, 5238 ODI and 932 T20I runs with the average of 42,40 and 27 respectively.

Arjuna award winner Gambhir also holds the unique 100% winning record as captain in the International cricket. He captained India in six ODIs, among which India lost none. He also had a quite good captaincy stint in IPL.

The 36-year-old southpaw recently scored a big knock of 151 runs against Kerala in the ongoing 50-over domestic tourney, Vijay Hazare Trophy. He has scored runs at the top in almost all the six matches of the tournament so far.

Taking these numbers in the consideration, one can say that he might soon receive a national comeback call-up.

The elder Pathan, who debuted for India in 2007 in the historical World T20 final against Pakistan, served India as a hard-hitting batsman for quite a long time. However, he hasn't played an international match for India since 2012.

Yusuf, a right-handed batsman who occasionally bowls off-spin, has played 57 ODIs and 22 T20Is for India. He played all the six group stage matches in 2011 World Cup but was dropped from playing XI for the knockout games, owing to his consistent failures.

Pathan later struggled to keep his place alive in the team, with a lot of new faces making an entrance to the team. He currently plays domestic cricket for Baroda and recently went to Bangladesh to play a List A tournament.

He too has shown some touch in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, though he needs to produce more performances to earn a comeback call.
