#2 Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep Sharma might not have express pace but he does have the ability to swing the ball. This particular trait helped him pick a lot of wickets playing for Kings XI Punjab owing to which he was selected in the Indian T20 side way back in 2015.

Unfortunately, Sharma looked ineffective in the two matches that he played for India. He took just 1 wicket while giving away runs at a poor economy of 10.42. Sharma hasn't played for India since then.

#1 Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson is one of the most promising talents in the country. When he has the willow in his hands he oozes class. Samson has played some mind-blowing innings in the IPL and it's still a mystery why he hasn't got many chances in Indian colours.

Even though he deserves more chances at the international level, not many of us remember that he has actually played for India in a T20 match against Zimbabwe where he scored 19 runs. With some strong performances in the IPL, Samson will be hopeful for a comeback to the national side sooner rather than later.
