Wicket-keeper
#1 Rishabh Pant
No prizes for guessing the first player for the wicketkeeping option, we all know what he can do in the red ball cricket and white ball cricket. All Rishabh Pant needs to do is build his innings and show the temperament which he has shown in his recent knock at Sydney.

He will definitely be the first choice for the wicketkeeping option and can be slotted in as an opener or a middle order batsman.
#2 Ishan Kishan
We have one of the best reserves of wicketkeepers in the domestic cricket when compared to the other countries. Ishan Kishan would have made his debut if not for his Under-19 team mate's exploits for the Indian team.
He has been making the right noise in the domestic circuit and can any day play as a specialist batsman as well. He can also be slotted at any position in the batting order and can be very aggressive as well.
