#1 Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer shot into the limelight when he was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for INR 2.6 crore in the 2015 IPL auctions. There has been no looking back for the 22-year-old since, and he has established himself in the Mumbai set-up in the domestic arena.
Iyer has consistently produced the goods for the India 'A' side as well and had a sensational tour of South Africa, where he amassed 213 runs in five matches. An aggressive batsman with a solid technique, Iyer needs to be groomed for the future and what better way to introduce him into the international arena than in a game against Australia?
He could be roped in in place of Ajinkya Rahane and while facing the likes of Nathan Coulter-Nile and Pat Cummins won't be easy, Iyer has the temperament to succeed.
