#1 Hanuma Vihari
While Mayank Agarwal failed to earn his national team cap, his India A teammate Hanuma Vihari got that life-changing call from the selectors. Not only that, he was also a part of the playing XI in the fifth Test against England at Kennington Oval. On his debut, Vihari amassed a highly praiseworthy half-century.
While he got out for a duck in the second-innings, his first-innings heroics must be enough to nail his place in the team. Given the fragility of the Indian middle-order, the Kakinada-born cricketer's steadiness might help in the team in a crucial way.
