5 openers that India can try out in the future 

Semi Final 1 - ICC Under 19 World Cup
Kishan was India's captain in the U-19 World Cup in 2016

#3. Mandeep Singh-

Mandeep is performing effectively in domestic cricket for sometime
Mandeep did play three T20Is in 2016 but they were against Zimbabwe

The winner of the rising player award in IPL 2012, Mandeep Singh has all the ingredients to become an effective limited overs batsman.

He is fluent with the bat, has command over all strokes and most importantly has the daredevil attitude which allows him to dominate the proceedings with ease. However, his batting exploits have remained limited to domestic cricket and even after producing several impressive knocks he hasn't received due recognition from the national selectors.

He did play three T20Is in 2016 but they were against Zimbabwe, a minnow in cricket and he hasn't featured in any international games since then.

However, he is only 25-year-old and has behind him an experience of 62 first-class games. He is a mainstay in Punjab's state team with 4000 plus runs and is also a regular face in IPL. Considering all these facets, he can easily make into India's national team in the near future.

And given his liking for the new ball, he is best suited for the opener's role.
