India’s rising sensation batter Shubman Gill has shown his caliber in a short span of time. In the recently concluded New Zealand ODI series, the batter dismantled New Zealand’s bowling lineup and was in beast mode.

Shubman Gill in the BGT 2023 wrecked Australia’s lethal bowling attack and was quite fearless in his approach. We should not forget that Gill played a key role in BGT 2020-21 triumph.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

In recent times, Ruturaj Gaikwad has developed an attacking brand of cricket. Ruturaj Gaikwad was quite ultra-aggressive in his approach in the recently concluded IPL 2023. The young Indian batter amassed 590 runs in IPL 2023 and dictated the terms by smashing 4 half-centuries in the tournament

Ruturaj Gaikwad had a pretty good domestic season and converted his starts. Ruturaj has represented India in the shortest format but hasn’t been able to make a case for himself and has played a solitary ODI match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the destructive batter has found a place in the Test squad against West Indies. He has got a wide range of shots as the 21-year-old was seen whacking the bowlers all around the park in IPL 2023.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to bat in the middle order against West Indies’ Test Series. It would be interesting to see whether he plays his natural game or if there is a shift in the game plan.

Ishan Kishan

The swashbuckling left-handed batter Ishan Kishan recently struck a double century against Bangladesh in 2022. Ishan Kishan was a part of the BGT 2023 & WTC 2021-23 finals but couldn’t get a chance to showcase his credentials.

There are chances that Ishan Kishan may bat in the middle order as the batter has got similar traits to Rishabh Pant (*injured). Ishan’s ultra-attacking approach against the spinners can change the complexion of the match.

The batter made his ODI debut in 2020 but hasn’t got ample opportunities. Prithvi Shaw has got an attacking game plan but needs to work on his footwork. Prithvi Shaw has got similar traits to the legendary batter Virender Sehwag.
