#2 Rishabh Pant

Getting off the mark in Test cricket can get the best of the batsmen edgy and restless. However, it was as easy as pie for young Rishabh Pant who mounted Adil Rashid into the stands to score his first runs in Test cricket.
With an aggressive style of batting that is capable of demolishing any bowling unit on a given day, Pant has been known as one of India's most exciting prospects in the recent times. The Delhi lad has been a prolific scorer in domestic cricket and is currently busy taking giant strides towards fulfilling his dream of playing for India on a regular basis.
Given that the 2019 World Cup is around the corner and India is looking for a reliable wicketkeeper-batsman to back MS Dhoni up, Pant would certainly look to prove his mettle and justify the selectors' faith in him to emerge as the next big thing in Indian cricket.
