2. Shreyas Iyer
There has been no doubt about Shreyas Iyer’s ability to make things happen. Every time he has got a chance, he has cashed in. The best example of his ability is his debut century against New Zealand during the home series in November.
Iyer is a technically sound batter and arguably one of the best choices to replace Rahane. Iyer has played two Test matches and has scored 202 runs. With a solid average of 50.50, he is well set to become one of the regular members of the Test side.
In First-Class cricket, Iyer has scored 4794 runs with an average of 52.10. He has 13 centuries to his name in First-Class cricket as well. It is now up to the team management if they decide to choose Iyer or the number one replacement Vihari.
