#3 Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant, the recipient of emerging player of the year 2018, has been the revelation of Indian cricket. He bagged the Orange Cap in IPL 2018 by amassing 684 runs with a marauding strike rate around 160. This stellar performance earned him a Test Cap. He did not let his team down. Scored a sparkling century in the last test of England tour in Oval and also had a decent show behind the stumps in the whole series
He continued his merry form by scoring 350 runs at an avg of 58.33 with a scintillating 159* in Sydney against Aussies in 4 match test series. He has vindicated his worth as a wicket-keeper batsman in Test cricket.
In ODI's he did not get that much of opportunity due to Dhoni's presence but in T20I he had his moments in recent times. With some cameos in New Zealand, he is due for a big score and is certainly in contention as a second keeper to board the flight to England.
