2. Shai Hope (West Indies)
West Indies top-order batsman Shai Hope has a different talent than other Windies players. He can take the game patiently forward and understands the need of the team. With his temperament, he has scored match-winning runs for the team.
In the last series against India, he scored a century, leading his team to the victory. However, India won the series with 2-1. The 26-year-old played 28 ODI matches this year, scoring 1345 runs at the strike rate of 77.92. He will be a good opening partner for Rohit Sharma.
