#1 Axar Patel
Axar Patel was drafted into the Indian team as an all-rounder after his exploits for Kings XI Punjab in the 2014 Indian Premier League. He had been the 'Emerging Player of the Tournament' with 17 wickets.

The IPL performance sealed him a berth for India's ODI tour of Bangladesh in the same year. He did well in that series and the series followed against Sri Lanka to find a spot in the squad for the 2015 World Cup.
With the Indian pace bowling attack being hugely effective in those conditions in Australia, Axar had to sit out for the whole tournament and didn't get a single opportunity to play in the World Cup. Since then, he has been in and out of the squad and never really cemented his place.
Though the left-arm spinner still has a slight chance of making it to the squad, the current form of Jadeja as well as the emergence of the Pandya brothers might make his task tougher.
The 24-year-old has played 38 ODIs for India and picked up 45 wickets while scoring 181 runs.
