#2 Rishabh Pant
A player of Adam Gilchrist's mold, a dashing batsman with the ability to score at a fast pace with a safe pair of gloves behind the wicket, Rishabh Pant has taken huge strides in his small career, making it to India's Test Squad on the back of some scintillating performances for India A under the guidance of Rahul Dravid.

He can also be a contender for the No. 4 spot in the limited overs' side if given a chance, as shown by him in IPL. However, no matter how good a player is performing domestically, if players selected in the Indian side are performing well, he won't get a chance.
MS Dhoni will be the first choice keeper-batsman till he retires and Dinesh Karthik has been playing best cricket of his life in past 2 years, which has ultimately blocked Pant's spot in the side for the time being.
