#2 Khaleel Ahmed for Sandeep Sharma

The only left-arm pacer to have made an impact since Zaheer Khan, Khaleel Ahmed has quickly risen through the ranks and has made it to the international level pretty soon. He is one of the finest pacers playing for the national team and is even a part of the World Cup plans.

His most obvious advantage is that he is left-handed which gives him a lot of variations. Adding to that, he generates very good speeds and has the ability to swing the ball. He really complements Bhuvneshwar Kumar very well as he is not only able to hold up one end very well but also chips in with quick wickets at intervals.

Also, he bowls in the death overs very well for India and his exposure at that level makes him a better player than Sandeep Sharma. It would be quite right to say that had Khaleel Ahmed played the first match instead of Sandeep Sharma, the results would indeed have been different. SRH should not delay his inclusion into the XI and should make full use of his abilities
