#6 Kedar Jadhav

Jadhav last played for India against Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2017 Final

With phenomenal abilities to strike the ball and finish off games for India, along with playing long steady knocks, Jadhav needs to be re-instated into the Indian lineup.

#7 Krunal Pandya

Krunal would be yearning to don India colours

Pandya Senior, if explored well, could end up as a genuine number 6 batsman for India and offer several good overs of left arm off spin.

The new Mr Swing of India

CSK's find of the season, Deepak Chahar has the herculean ability to swing the ball both ways and pick wickets with the new ball and can also swing the bat to hit a few big shots.

The Hyderabad lad has come a long way
