3. Rishabh Pant
The wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has emerged as one of India’s most important players in all formats of the game. He has been handling the captaincy of his Indian T20 League franchise, Delhi, for some time now and has fared well.
Earlier this year, the 25-year-old was also given the opportunity to lead India in a five-match T20I series against South Africa. While his captaincy did not start well with losses in the first two games, he bounced back to win the next two. The series eventually ended in a tie, with the final game being rained out.
