1. Ishan KishanÂ
Kishan is the front-runner to replace Shubman Gill in the first match against Australia. He has been in exceptional form recently in the middle-order for India, as the batter played an underpressure knock of 82 runs off 81 balls against Pakistan during the Asia Cup group stage match. The SouthPaw has also scored a double-century against Bangladesh.
Ishan has been a natural opener but due to Gill’s exceptional form as an opener he was dropped from the squad and he came in as a middle-order batter when KL Rahul was injured. Ishan’s explosive style made the against-team bowlers think about their line and length. In the West Indies series, he scored 184 runs at an average of 61.33 with scores of 52, 55, and 77.
