Another promising wicket-keeper on the list is the left-handed batsman from Jharkhand, Ishan Kishan. Alike, Siddhesh Lad, Ishan Kishan had an impressive domestic season as well. In Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2017-18, he scored 273 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 34.12, and an astonishing strike-rate of 145.98.

Ishan Kishan has been in the domestic fray for quite some time now. However, he hasn't been able to make it to a grand level. Thus, this time around, with Mumbai Indians as his base, he will have plenty of opportunities ahead of him. Mumbai Indians will be seeing him as a potential replacement for Parthiv Patel who has opened and kept wickets for MI in the past.
