Rishabh Pant
Rank 30
It’s been a roller-coaster ride for the diminutive and hard-hitting wicket-keeper batsman. Rishab Pant had a busy season, playing eight Tests, 12 one-day internationals and 17 T20s in the period under consideration. However, he lost his place in the Test team towards the end of the year to specialist keeper Wriddhiman Saha. His risky batting style, erratic wicket-keeping and fans of MS Dhoni make him a constant talking point on social media.
