3. Deepak Hooda:
The right-handed batsman has been one of the finest performers in this year’s Ranji Trophy. With the highest score of 293*, he has amassed 557 runs in only 3 matches and has made a strong case for himself to the selectors. He has played only 19 matches so far in his career but has impressed one all with his fine performances. With an average of over 61, he has scored 1535 runs. Moreover, his prowess in the IPL is a proof that he can face the best of the bowlers with utmost confidence.
Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the series after suffering an injury and the team might have tried Hooda in his position
