#4 Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, India's current limited overs vice-captain and one of the finest batsmen in the world, has certainly come a long way since the ICC World T20 2007, the tournament where he showcased his ability on the world stage. For six years after the World T20, until 2013, consistency eluded Rohit, who, despite being widely regarded as one of the most talented young players in the world, struggled to cement his place in the Indian side.
However, in the Champions Trophy of 2013, Rohit Sharma turned opener, and that changed his career. Since 2013, barring perhaps Virat Kohli, he has been the best and most destructive batsman in the limited overs game. His test career, on the other hand, has been topsy-turvy; however, he has been recalled for the Indian test side for the upcoming series against Australia, and this presents him with another opportunity to re-vitalise his test career.
In the IPL, he has captained the Mumbai Indians since 2013 and has led them to three titles, making himself one of the most successful captains in IPL history.
