#2 Rishabh Pant

Semi Final 1 - ICC Under 19 World Cup
Pant made his Test debut against England recently

That Rishabh Pant is just 20 years old may seem far-fetched; for his talent certainly belies his age. Pant made a name for himself after he walloped a 24 ball 78. The cricketing maverick has a very unstable stance and on first glance, one might mistake the southpaw for a want-to-be cricketer. But all the doubts are erased when you see him missiling cricket balls beyond the fence.

In IPL 2018, Pant commanded worldwide attention as he kept tearing the reputations of the so-called T20 specialist bowlers. Helmets for the audience is a must as his six-hitting prowess can never be underestimated.

A strong contender for the orange cap, Rishabh Pant narrowly lost it to New Zealand captain after his side failed to make it to the Playoffs. The blithesome wicket-keeper has already donned the whites for the senior team and in all likelihood seems destined to flourish as one of India’s most fearsome players ever.
