# 1 Shubman Gill - Kolkata Knight Riders

Shubman Gill is undoubtedly the rising Indian star from the Kolkata Knight Riders team. The fact that he has already made his debut for India is an acknowledgment of his caliber. With the ongoing talk of Virat Kohli playing at Number four, it potentially opens up a vacant spot at number three. Though Ambati Rayadu might be the preferred go-to-guy; Shubman Gill can stake a claim to it with some consistent performances.
With KKR expected to rely on Shubman Gill to ensure balance to the squad, Gill will be looking to showcase his talent this season to put forth his claim up against the pecking order for a place in the national team.
Nitish Rana is another player who has the potential to play for India in the KKR camp. He is yet to get into the good books of the Indian team management and will be looking to impress for KKR so that the selectors have a closer look at him
