Top five upcoming young Indian cricketers

3. Ajinkya Rahane

The stylish right-handed batsman has been in and out of the national side for quite a long time. His brilliant performances in the Indian Premier League have proved that he is a man worth watching. He was kept out of the tri-series on the South Africa tour of India A.

He featured in both the unofficial Tests against South Africa A where he scored 132 runs from 3 innings at a healthy average of 44. His best came in Pretoria when he got 36 runs in the first innings and then scored a superb knock of 86.
