5 openers that India can try out in the future 

#4. Rishabh Pant

Pant is a complete package with power and potential

In the last one year, no other cricketer has improved as much as Rishabh Pant in India's domestic circuit. In one and half years he went from being a U-19 cricketer to a member of India's T20 team.

The left-hand batsman is known for power-hitting and is regarded as one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball. His aggressive batting includes a wide array of strokes and hence it is almost impossible for the opposition captain to set fields for him when he is in full flow.

Pant's free flowing batting allows him to bat at any position in the team but given his ability to pierce gaps with ease and his immense power and skills are better exploited at the top of the order.

He was Delhi's highest run scorer in Ranji trophy in 2016. He amassed 972 runs at an average of 81 runs per innings but his most impressive achievement was his tally of four centuries which includes a triple-hundred as well. He was also the only batsman to have a strike rate above 100 in the tournament.

The 19-year old has already played some gutsy innings in domestic cricket and hence has the temperament to survive the threat of new ball in international cricket. He is also an effective wicket-keeper and thus can become a mainstay in India's national team in the next few years.
