Shreyas Gopal has been going through a purple patch at the moment. A genuine leg-spinner, Gopal has been amongst the wickets over the past few domestic seasons. The Bengaluru boy captured 13 wickets in 8 games during the 2018/19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

He then played a key role for Rajasthan Royals in this year's IPL. The 25-year-old picked up 20 wickets in 14 games and finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He has taken his game to the next level and is currently under the radar of Indian selectors.

Despite being a leg-spinner, Gopal is consistent with his line and length, and also has a deceptive googly. His ability to score runs down the order and electric fielding make him a handy player to have in the T20 squad. Gopal deserves a run in the Indian team sooner than later.
