5 debutants India need to try as openers in tests

#4. Prashant Chopra

Prashant Chopra is the only Himachal Pradesh batsman to score a triple century.

Prashant Chopra recently scored a 338 for Himachal Pradesh. With that knock, he made some records as well. He became only the third player in the history of First Class cricket to hit a triple century on his birthday. The 271 he scored on the first day of the match was the most by any player on the opening day of a first-class game in India.

Prashant has been in the domestic circuit for almost 6 years now. The 25-year-old averages 46.10 in the 41 matches he played. Even though he is really consistent, he has only 7 centuries in this format. The right-hander can also bowl part-time leg spin and boasts 8 wickets in his first-class career.
