#2 Shivam Dube
The 26-year old Mumbaikar earned his maiden T20I call-up after making all the right noises with his performances at the domestic level. Dube, who was handed his T20I debut in the first match in Delhi, showed glimpses of what he has to offer to the Indian team going forward.
Being a rare commodity in Indian cricket, a seaming all-rounder always has a major role to play whenever India tour abroad. In the T20I at Nagpur, he didn't let his skipper down with his accurate bowling, accounting for two crucial wickets in the match. Though he didn't get enough opportunities to show his skills with the bat, the all-rounder has shown his ability to hit towering sixes in various domestic competitions.
He surely has the potential to partner Hardik Pandya in the side but needs to work more on his bowling and striking against the seamers, especially in the death.
The team management must have seen what he brings to the table in these three matches, especially his skills with the ball in the final T20I to pull India back into the match in a crunch situation.
