#3 Khaleel Ahmed
Khaleel Ahmed set the stage on fire with some stunning performances at youth level and will be remembered fondly for his exploits in the Tri-Nation under-19s tournament finals in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
In the 2017-18 Vijay Hazare trophy, he picked up 10 wickets in 6 matches which opened gates for entry to the Deodhar Trophy. Although his base price was only 20 lakhs INR in the IPL, he was picked up by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for a massive 3 crores with multiple franchises showing interest in him.
Khaleel has featured in six ODI games for the country so far and picked up a whopping 11 wickets at an economy rate of just above 5. He made his T20 debut in the recently concluded series against West Indies and picked up 3 wickets in two matches.
All eyes will be on him as he will look to make use of the opportunity against Australia.
