#2 Karun Nair
Another Karnataka batsman in the list, Nair has been in and around the Indian Test team for a good two years now. Having made his Test debut against England at Mohali in 2016, the right-hander has played only six Tests, however, he has a triple century to show for.
In the Ranji this season, Nair added 612 runs in seven matches at an average of 68.00. He hit as many as three centuries and a fifty, which proves how good he is at converting starts into big scores.
If given another chance by the selectors, he might as well go on to cement his place in the side.
