#1 Shubman Gill

Regarded as the next Virat Kohli, Shubman has got some of the most beautiful cricketing strokes.
He was a find of the Under-19 World Cup held this year in Australia. The 19-year-old right-hander was fantastic at the number 3 spot. He had 418 runs at an average of almost 104. Due to his fantastic performances, he was declared the man of the tournament. This got him an IPL contract with Kolkata Knight Riders, for 1.8 crores.
In the IPL as well, he showed maturity beyond his age. He was constantly made to bat at number 6 or 7, but he contributed consistently. Due to this, he was retained by the franchise for the next season as well.
But his talent could not earn him his maiden international cap this year.
