#1 Mayank Agarwal and Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant has all the attributes to be in the team as a batsman alone but he has not shown his potential as a Test player so far but he is only at the beginning of his career. While he has been good with the gloves in hand, but with the bat in hand, he got starts in all the four innings that he has played in this series only to give his wicket away at crucial junctures.
Pant is not new to opening the batting order. He has done at the limited overs cricket. This can help India to make the middle order stronger by including both Hardik Pandya and R Ashwin in the team particularly overseas.
Mayank and Rishabh Pant can be a deadly combination at the top of the order and have the capability to blow away any opposition.
