Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers in the 2016 season of the IPL with RCB. With India needing a few wrist-spin options, Chahal was drafted quickly into the Indian squad in 2016.

Chahal is now in the list of ICC's Top-10 bowlers, and his partnership with Kuldeep Yadav has been winning games for India very often. He is one of the few players who has been successful from the batch of 2016.

#6 Karun Nair

Karun Nair made his ODI debut in the Zimbabwe series in 2016. However, it was his triple-hundred in the same year which made him very popular.

Unfortunately, the Karnataka batsman has found it difficult to get opportunities despite good performances. He will be playing for Kings XI Punjab in IPL next year which could give him more opportunities to prove his credentials as a limited-overs cricketer.
