1. Shubman Gill

After the squads were announced, Shubman Gill said that he was disappointed as he wasn’t selected in any of three squads announced. He was expecting his name at least in one of the squads and rightly so. Everybody in cricketing circuits rates this guy highly and it’s only a matter of time before he plays at the highest level on a consistent basis.
Time and again he has shown his skill at the domestic levels. He scored runs whenever he was promoted up the order for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Even in the recently-concluded series against West Indies A, he was the highest scorer for India A as he scored 218 runs in four innings at an average of 54.50.
He is an accumulator and can open the innings as well as bat in the middle-order. He has the skill and talent to become a future superstar and there is no doubt that his name is topping the waiting list at the moment.
