#1 Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant is a promising young talent to say the least. He has already shown what he is capable of in Tests, having scored a century in England. Now it is time for him to prove his worth in limited overs too.
Pant performed really well in IPL 2018, scoring 684 runs in 14 matches. He is the kind of batsman who is perfectly suited to the T20 format.
Pant made his T20I debut against England during the home series in 2017. He has played four T20Is so far and has scored just 73 runs. But this will be a golden opportunity for him to establish his place in the Indian T20I side as a wicket-keeper batsman in the absence of MS Dhoni.
Pant is a batsman who can bat in the top order as well as in the middle order, but against West Indies he is expected to play in the middle.
