#1 Rohit Sharma

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly the best option in this list. He is an essential member of India's limited overs team but he has not been able to replicate the same performance in the longest format of the game. However, he opens the innings for India in limited overs Cricket and he is quite experienced as an opener.

Meanwhile, Rohit is not part India's Test team which is playing in England but he was in a good touch during the limited overs matches. The 'Hitman' has played 25 Test matches for India and he has an average of 40. As a matter of fact, Rohit's ODI career reached the peak when he started to open the innings. Similarly, he can change his fortune in the Test Cricket if he starts to play as an opener.

In addition, Rohit is 31 years old with a vast experience. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if he gets a Test recall. His experience will be definitely beneficial for the Indian team in the longest format of Cricket
