Hardik Pandya
Hailing from Choryasi in Gujarat, Pandya is in the first year of his International career, and has already been established as the hero of a thrilling Indian win against Bangladesh in the ICC World T20.
After India had made an under-par 146 at the Chinnaswamy ground, Bangladesh looked set to overhauling the target, although the regular loss of wickets was worrisome for them. With 11 required off the last over. Dhoni gave the ball to the young Pandya, who had conceded 20 runs in his first two overs.
He got wickets of the fourth and fifth delivery, and Dhoni effected a run-out of the last one, leaving Bangladesh one-run shy of the target. Pandya became an overnight sensation, and the legend of Dhoni just grew bigger.
