Nitish Rana – Known for hitting big sixes, Nitish Rana could have been darkhorse in T20 side. Reports had suggested that he also appeared for yo-yo test but with selectors retaining players like KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Manish Pandey in T20Is, there was no room for Delhi batsman to make a place for himself in settled batting line-up and hence, he wasn’t selected.
Another reason for his non-selection could be that he is yet to be tested at India A level and probably, selectors may want him to play for second string India side before donning the national jersey.
