#4 Rishabh Pant(India) (wk)

Future of Indian Cricket

Rishabh Pant got the nod ahead of Jos Buttler and Dinesh Karthik in this team. The wicket-keeper batsman from Delhi had a great 2018. From scoring a destructive ton against SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL to representing India in the Test arena and scoring a hundred in England, Pant did it all.

Pant scored 684 runs in the IPL at a strike rate of 173.60. He also scored the 2nd fastest century in T20 cricket when he scored 100 in just 32 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

#5 Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

The Big Show

Glenn Maxwell might not have had the best year in terms of T20 numbers, but he is being added into the side as an floater.

Maxwell scored 962 T20 runs at a strike rate of 146.87 with one century and 6 half century next to his name. T20 is a format of game changers, and Maxwell is one such player that every captain wants in his team.
