#1 Shreyas Iyer
If there is one player whose success would make the team management happy the most, then it has to be the runs from the bat of Shreyas Iyer. India's long-standing No:4 conundrum seems to have come to a halt with Shreyas getting a long run at the slot.
The knocks he has played in the last few International series' has convinced many experts that he deserves a permanent spot in shorter formats. The ease with which the Mumbai batsman played in the slower tracks of West Indies was a treat to watch.
He continued it in the home series against Bangladesh. In the series decider, his stroke-filled 33-ball 62 propelled India's total to 174. His ability to rotate the strike and clear the boundary at will makes him a perfect candidate for the spot.
With him expected to score big, fantasy players should have him in their playing 11.
