#1 Shreyas Iyer
Perhaps the most likely candidate to crack the Indian team would have to be this young man from Mumbai. Iyer, who recently made his T20I debut for India, has been a run-machine in the last three seasons.

In the 2016-17 season, Iyer notched up 725 runs in 10 matches. This was not very bright according to the lofty standards set by the man himself as in the 2015-16 season, he topped the batting charts, amassing 1321 runs in 10 matches, by far the leading run-scorer in the tournament.
He has been in sparkling form for India-A as well and has also captained the side, a testament to his progress which has been nothing short of meteoric. He deserves a spot in the Test squad.
If the selectors decide to rest captain Virat Kohli, Iyer could fit in perfectly at the number 4 slot
