3. Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant was the vice-captain of the Indian U19 team which lost in the final of the U19 World Cup in 2016 in Bangladesh. Ishan Kishan was the captain of the side and both players found buyers in the IPL 2016 auction. Ishan Kishan went to the new franchise Gujarat Lions, and Rishabh Pant was bought by his home franchise Delhi Capitals.
He made his India debut in T20Is in 2017 as well but only cemented his place after MS Dhoni’s retirement in 2019. He roared to stardom when he smashed 128* for DC against SRH in IPL 2018. In 2021, Rishabh Pant was named captain of the Delhi side in the absence of Shreyas Iyer and since then has continued to lead the franchise.
