#4 Shardul Thakur
The 26-year-old speedster from Mumbai made his debut for the Indian cricket team a few months ago against Sri Lanka in Colombo. He performed well as he picked up 1 wicket and gave away 26 runs in 7 overs.
However, his performance in the final ODI of the series was one to forget as he gave away 48 runs in just 6 overs.
There was a lot of hue and cry over his no. 10 jersey number during the series, as it was the same number worn by Sachin Tendulkar. Shortly after the series, Thakur gave up the no. 10 jersey and chose to wear no. 54.
His selection for the series against South Africa has been questioned by many. He might not get a chance to play but if he does, he will look to make the most of it.
