#1 Kedar Jadhav
The 32-year-old from Maharashtra is one amongst the very few Indian cricketers who bloomed late in their career.
He had a great 2017 and played a huge role in India's success at home. His match-winning knock against England in Pune in 2017 will not be forgotten for a long time.
He played a huge part in India's success in the ICC Champions Trophy as well. His part-time bowling has been extremely effective over the past one year as he has broken important partnerships on a number of occasions.
However, he has not been in great form over the past few matches or so and will look to get back to his dangerous best against the Proteas.
