He earned a well-deserved India call-up after smashing 625 runs in 14 games in the IPL and has already made a mark in international cricket with a century on Test debut and 253 runs in just 8 innings in T20Is.

The swashbuckling left-hander once again looked in brilliant touch against Australia in the first T20I on Thursday but failed to convert his start into a big score as he scored 21 off just 8 balls. From skills to temperament and an aggressive approach, Jaiswal has everything required to be a successful modern-day T20I opener and is likely to become a future star for the Indian team.

Ruturaj Gaikwad – He became only the third Indian to get dismissed in a diamond duck in T20Is after getting out on a duck without even facing a delivery in the 1st T20I against Australia on Thursday. However, that takes nothing away from what Gaikwad has achieved in a short span in his career in the IPL and domestic cricket. A technically gifted batter, Gaikwad is poetry in motion when on song.

He has already become a vital cog for CSK in the IPL, playing an instrumental role in their last two title triumphs with heaps of runs but Gaikwad is yet to prove himself for India. He has 277 runs at an average of over 25 in 15 T20Is for the Indian team and still has a long way to go. However, Gaikwad is one for the future and needs to be backed consistently considering his incredible skills and abilities which can see him become a long-term successful opener for India.

Tilak Varma – Tilak Varma has been a revelation for Mumbai Indians in the IPL with his impressive performances over the last two seasons. A lot has already been said and written about the young left-hander, who is an exceptional talent and has the potential to become a future star for Team India. Tilak, who made his India debut earlier this year, made a mark straightaway in his first series for the Men in Blue against West Indies with consistent performances.
