Rating India's debutant cricketers of 2018

Krunal Pandya -6/10

Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya, the Mumbai Indians' all-rounder made his debut for India against West Indies at Eden Gardens. Despite getting a national call-up for T20 series against England as a replacement for injured Washington Sundar, he had to wait for 4 months to make his first appearance for India.

He has featured in 6 T20I matches where he has taken 6 wickets at an economy rate of 8.23. He has got only 2 innings to bat where he has scored a combined total of 23 runs.

Hanuma Vihari -7/10

Australia v India - 3rd Test: Day 1

Hanuma Vihari, the Indian batting all-rounder is currently one of the in-form Indian batsmen. He has caught the attention of a lot of eyes ever since he made his Test debut against England.

He has proved to be a multi-utility player as he can stay in the crease for a long time and also provide the much-needed breakthroughs during the middle overs of the game. He has featured in 3 tests so far and has scored 125 runs with a high score of 56. Even though he didn't score much in the just concluded third test between India and Australia, he did manage to survive that first hour in the first session (not to forget while batting out of position) which has seen India lose too many wickets of late. Moreover, he also has 5 dismissals to his name.
