Hardik Pandya – Projected as the next Kapil Dev of India, by the man himself, his short career has been nothing less than a fairytale. From almost nowhere, though he did play some cameos, he was selected in the T20 squad for Australia and then in the ODI squad against New Zealand.

The biggest surprise came when he found his name in the Test squad as well.

He might also feature in the two practice games against England to prove his match fitness.
