#1 Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant might be the player that India needs at the back-end of the innings. In recent times, India has not been able to finish the innings that well and he has the ability to smoke it to all parts of the ground.
He can clear any fence in the world as we already seen many times during the IPL, and when at his best, he can just take the game away from any opposition single-handedly.
He can be the backup keeper if Dhoni gets injured or can even be a part of the team as a pure batsman and can bat at number four or five, if needed. It was quite surprising not to see him in the ODI squad for the series against Australia, but he can still very much be part of the World Cup squad.
