Top 5 ODI Debutants in 2018

#3 Khaleel Ahmed (India)

Khaleel Ahmed

Khaleel Ahmed is the best possible solution for India's search for a left-arm pacer after Zaheer Khan and he has played very well in the chances provided to him. He made his debut in the Asia Cup game against Hong Kong and picked up three crucial wickets after the Hong Kong openers put on a great opening stand.

Khaleel was persisted with under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and has good stats in ODIs and decent stats in T20Is. Khaleel has picked up 11 wickets from six ODIs with a good average of 24 and economy of 5.05 and has been consistent with his line and length.

He can become a seasoned pacer for India and should feature in India's plan for the World Cup. He's probably the pick of India's list of debutants which featured players like Siddharth Kaul, Deepak Chahar and India should give him more opportunities to play alongside Bhuvi and Bumrah in the Australia and New Zealand series to further enhance this great pacer's performances.
