#2 Manish Pandey
A batsman with immense ability, Manish Pandey entered record books when he became the first Indian to score a century in the Indian Premier League. He has since gone from strength to strength in all formats and quickly established himself as one of the finest domestic batsmen in the country.
He became a run machine for Karnataka and was always on the fringes as far as National team is concerned. And when he got the opportunity against Australia in an ODI, he stamped his authority all over the game and won the game with his breath-taking century.
The young Karnataka batsman was appointed the captain for the India- A squad, and he has shown tremendous temperament as a leader. This additional responsibility has only buoyed him and has so far scored two centuries for his side. He is by far the best batsman in the A team, and the National selectors should include him in the team and give him a long rope.
Results are bound to come!
