One name that could join the above-mentioned pacers in the near future is Basil Thampi.The fast bowling sensation from Kerala hogged the limelight during the Inter-Zonal T20 tournament earlier this year and was bought by Gujarat Lions in the IPL auction.

He had an average IPL in which he claimed just 11 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 9.49, but was way better than what the numbers suggest. He is easily one of the finds of the tournament and went on win the Emerging player award.

He was rewarded with a spot in India A team for the tri-series tournament which included South Africa A and Afghanistan A. In spite of taking just two wickets, he got a lot of praises for the way he bowled. He is someone who is very good at the death and it won't be a bad idea if the Indian team decides to invest in Thampi ahead of the 2019 World Cup starting from the upcoming India-Australia series.
