#1 Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer is considered by many to be the heir to Virat Kohli’s number three position. But, that shouldn’t prevent him from featuring in the playing XI immediately. He has to start somewhere and number four would be the perfect position for him.
Known for his ability to match classical shots with brute force, Shreyas could well be the saving grace that India’s middle-order desperately needs. While his first stint in the Indian team was short, he has grown a lot recently under Ricky Ponting at the Delhi Capitals. Moreover, being captain of the Delhi franchise has helped his game grow by leaps and bounds over the years.
In addition, Iyer has been in good form for the India A side and has been consistently piling up runs whenever accorded the opportunities in unofficial ODIs and Tests.
If he maintains the same level of consistency, he could find himself playing for India again.
