#1 Rishabh Pant

While the others on the list have not made their debut for India in Test cricket, Rishabh Pant has already made an impact in the longest format of the game and, in a short span of time. He scored a century in India's fifth Test against England in England – a field, which no Indian wicket-keeper could achieve before him.
Even the great Dhoni has not scored a Test century outside Asia, but Pant managed to do it only in the third Test match of his career. His potential, combined with a fearless approach down the order, makes him a dangerous customer for the opposition.
The only thing he needs to improve on is his glovework behind the wickets, as he struggled with his wicket-keeping in England, giving away more than 70 runs in the form of byes.
