#4 Deepak Hooda
The 22-year-old has been knocking on the doors of Indian cricket for quite some time now. He came into prominence after a good outing at the U-19 World Cup in 2014.
Since then, he has played a lot of domestic cricket and has played a big role in Baroda's success.
He was their top scorer in this year's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, with 173 runs to his name in four innings at an average of 43.25.
He followed that up with a spectacular outing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well, with 352 runs in seven innings at an average of 50, which includes a 161 run knock against Railways.
