#2 Khaleel Ahmed
In September 2018, India's T20I cap no.77, Khaleel Ahmed made his T20I debut against the Caribbeans in the opening fixture of T20I series between India and West Indies at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. The pacer made full use of this golden chance and picked up his first T20I wicket of Fabien Allen towards the end, and was quite economical in his spell of four overs, giving away just 16 runs. Though he didn't stop there and come out with a much better performance in the next game, and dismissing their openers Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer in consecutive overs.
The left-arm has been a consistent number 11 since then and was also included in playing XI for T20I series against Australia, where he grabbed three wickets in three games, with his best performance being 2/39 in the second game. The Rajasthan lad is set to represent the national team in more games in near future.
