5 players who were unlucky to miss out from India's ODI squad for South Africa series

Rishabh Pant

Over the last two years, Rishabh Pant has been attracting a lot of attention with his performances in the Indian domestic circuit. In spite of being just 19, he made his T20I debut for India earlier this year. He had a brilliant IPL to back up his outstanding first-class season and has been on the selectors' radar for quite some time now.

Though he didn't tour England with the team for the Champions Trophy, he was picked in the side that toured West Indies. Unfortunately, he wasn't considered for selection in the ODIs but played the one-off T20I following which he was dropped from the side.

He has been doing a decent job in the ongoing Ranji Trophy and should have been picked in the side as the second wicketkeeper ahead of one of the middle-order batsmen.
