#2 Faf du Plessis
The South African Test skipper is the leading run-scorer of 2017 in ODIs thus far with 677 runs in 13 games. The solid, watchful Du Plessis was often criticised for getting stuck at the crease, especially in the shorter formats, but has turned all that around with some scintillating performances this year.
He smashed a career-best 185 against the Lankans in the ODI series in January apart from a 105 in the same series. Proteas will be banking on the 32-year-old to score some runs especially after a rather quiet series against England. Having a good record against the sub-continent side would also give him some confidence going into the game.
