#2 Rishabh Pant

The new batting sensation Rishabh Pant can tear off any bowling lineup on his day. In IPL 2018 he scored 684 runs at an impressive average of 52.61. An average of over 50 is excellent in the longer formats but this guy attained it in T20s. What is amazing is to see that he scored these runs at a strike rate of over 173. He has the ability to clear the park at will and can be lethal when he gets going.
Very recently he scored his first runs in test cricket with a six. He can be the finisher India is looking for as a possible replacement to MS Dhoni as his hitting abilities are on a constant wane. India can play him at number 6 or number 7.
