#7 David Warner
He might not have played a whole lot of competitive cricket over the last 12 months, but he is still a good enough batsman. He played in the Caribbean Premier League, Global T20 Canada and Bangladesh Premier League, till he injured himself in the BPL. He showed some decent form in those tournaments and also got runs at a good strike rate.
Before being suspended, Warner was easily one of the most aggressive batsmen in cricket and was considered to be in the same bracket as the 'Fab Four. He has scored 8,111 runs in 258 innings at an average of 35.28 and boasts of a strike rate of 142.07. He has scored six centuries, and his absence has hurt the Australian team severely.
#6 Jason Roy
The English powerhouse is pretty much an English version of David Warner. Over the past 15 months or so, Jason Roy has formed one half of England's opening combo and has played exceptionally well. He is known to be one of the most aggressive batsmen in the world and is a game-changer at the top of the order.
He has scored four centuries and has a blistering strike rate of 145.77. He has scored 4,882 runs in 188 innings at an average of 27.27.
