2. Manish Pandey
Manish Pandey last featured for India during the T20I series in Australia in late 2020. After that series, Pandey was dropped from the Indian team despite having some solid performances under his belt in the IPL 2020 and the T20I matches which were played before that series. But, with the Sri Lanka tour coming, Pandey will be one of the top picks in the side.
Having said that, there is a lot someone like Manish Pandey can offer to this young side which will be going to Sri Lanka. He is one of the most experienced players in the Indian domestic circuit. He has been a successful captain of the Karnataka State team and has even led them to a Vijay Hazare Trophy title and two Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy titles.
Apart from this, Manish also holds a unique record for having the most no. of wins as a captain in T20s in a single calendar year. He won 16 matches for the Karnataka team as the captain in the year 2019. All these captaincy numbers are just a sign of his class as a leader of a team. Pandey may return to the Indian team with a huge responsibility of leading the side.
