Brijesh Patel is mostly an unknown name among modern fans of the game. However, his potential shouldn’t be overlooked. He is the only cricketer to have never gotten out for a duck.

Uthappa made his mark an excellent wicket-keeper too. In his ODI debut, he made a strong 86 runs and impressed the coaches and critics. He has since then had a fruitful career in the IPL as well.

KL Rahul- 100*

KL Rahul has more or less cemented his place in the current Indian team. He has shown a chameleon-like ability to adapt to any position. He performed when he was an opener, and also did extremely well when he was put into the middle order.

Rahul made a confident unbeaten century on his debut and announced to the world his arrival. If his current form is anything to go by, KL Rahul looks set to be a permanent fixture in the Indian team for the near future.
