#4 Barinder Sran
The tall and muscular boxer-turned-cricketer from Punjab who created buzz waves before his limited-overs debut against Australia in January this year, Barinder Sran, soon fizzled out from the scenes as the international T20 season engulfed the cricketing world. But come the IPL, the left-arm seamer was ready to fire his arsenal once again, and so he did playing for the eventual champions, the Sunrisers Hyderabad, wherein he was a part of their pace quartet comprising the likes of Ashish Nehra, Mustafizur Rahman, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and played a vital role in their ultimate success.
Consequently, Sran was selected again for the next set of ODIs that India played, and the 23-year-old proved out to be an absolute asset, be it with the new ball or the old ball. In each of the three ODIs, the pacer provided India with early breakthroughs, which were the results of the swing available on occasions as well as the purchase that he got off the surface. Towards the death as well, Sran's execution of yorkers proved out to be detrimental, as was visible during the last over of the 3rd T20I, which India clinched by 3 runs. Sran picked up 6 wickets in 2 T20I that he played and 4 wickets from the 3 ODIs this tour.
