#1 Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir has been in scintillating form in the 2018 Vijay Hazare trophy. He has scored at least 35 in every single innings of the tournament so far, which includes a mammoth 151 against Kerala. The hero of India's World Cup finals in 2007 and 2011 does deserve a spot in the national ODI team but recalling him will do no favour for anyone.
For India, the long-term opening pair is Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. They have given India some blistering starts. Therefore India should not rush Gambhir's return as it will only create chaos in the settled top-order.
