4. Parthiv Patel:
When Parthiv Patel was given the captaincy of the u-19 team in 2002, he faced a daunting task as the team was the defending champion. And although India failed to defend the title after being knocked out in the semi-final by South Africa, Parthiv soon entered the international scene. He made his debut at 17 years and 153 days and became Test cricket’s youngest wicketkeeper. He could not enjoy much time with the national team as Mahendra Singh Dhoni cemented his place but the Gujarat star has been one of the most consistent performers in the domestic circuits over the last decade or so.
He led Gujarat to its maiden Ranji Trophy glory in the 2016–17 season and was even recalled to the Test team last year during the series against England.
