#2. Washington Sundar

The 17 year old from Tamil Nadu is making the right noises at the right time. He came into limelight when he played the Under 19 World Cup at an age of 16. He is now an important part of his state side and has cemented his place in Rising Pune Super Giants as well.
Sundar has played in 6 First Class matches for Tamil Nadu scalping 18 wickets at an average of 21. He picked up 8 wickets in 11 matches for his IPL side at an average of 23. The real brilliance of Sundar was at display in this year's TNPL where he amassed 459 runs in 9 matches at a humongous average of 76 and a strike rate of 155 and picked up 15 wickets in 9 matches at a stupendous average of 12 and an economy of 6.1.
Sundar recently picked up 5 wickets in the second innings to end up with 11 wickets for the match and scored 88 runs and 42 runs in the two innings for the India Red team in the 2017 Duleep Trophy and guided his team to victory.
Sundar might have played a lower number of matches when compared to other budding players, but the potential he has shown certainly makes him a strong contender for a place in the Indian team in the near future.
