SURYAKUMAR YADAV (C- MI)
M: 16| RUNS: 480| HS: 79*| AVG: 40.00| SR: 145.01 |100s: 0| 50s: 4| 6s: 11 | 4s: 61
Suryakumar Yadav is one of the foremost talents knocking on the doors of the Indian team, thanks to his performances for Mumbai in the Indian domestic scene and for Mumbai Indians in the past few seasons in the IPL as well. He has batted everywhere in the top order for MI in the past three years and before that, as a finisher for Kolkata Knight Riders.

This means he has the game for any spot in the batting order and has shown his acumen for finishing the games when the opportunity arises while absorbing pressure. He can attack both the pacers and spinners and can also play the waiting game while running hard between the wickets.
He is definitely on the radar for Indian selectors, especially with the T20 World Cup scheduled in India next year in 2021.
ISHAN KISHAN (WK- MI)
M: 14| RUNS: 516| HS: 99| AVG: 57.33| SR: 145.76| 100s: 0| 50s: 4| 6s: 30 | 4s: 36
Indian team is on the lookout for a wicketkeeper in all the formats and while they are currently banking on KL Rahul to the job in the white-ball cricket, one name that has cropped up in the talks is that of former U19 captain Ishan Kishan. Kishan made his debut in IPL for Gujarat Lions.
But then was picked by Mumbai Indians and though they now have Quinton de Kock keeping wickets, Kishan has managed to cement his place as a pure batsman. He smashed 516 runs in the IPL 2020 with the best score of 99 and won MI matches from precarious positions in the tournament. The pocket dynamo also hit the maximum, 30 sixes in IPL 2020.
He, along with Suryakumar Yadav, is on the radar for the Indian team in near future.
RAHUL TEWATIA (RR)
M: 14| RUNS: 255| HS: 53|AVG: 42.50| SR: 139.34| 50s: 1| WKTs: 10| BB: 3/25| ECO: 7.08
What a find Rahul Tewatia proved to be as a batting all-rounder in the IPL 2020. The left-handed batsman and right-arm leg-spinner gave IPL 2020 its highlight moment when he smacked Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over to win his team Rajasthan Royals a match that they were looking down and out of, chasing 224 runs.

Tewatia showed that he can carry the responsibility of a tight chase as well, as he did with Riyan Parag against SRH. His bowling is a bonus as he can keep the batsmen quiet in the middle overs and he is one of the best catchers in the tournament and is excellent in the field otherwise as well.
KARTIK TYAGI (RR)
M: 10| WKTs: 9| BB: 2/36| ECO: 9.61
Kartik Tyagi was one of the most impressive bowlers of the U19 World Cup 2020 and was picked up by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2020 auction. He played alongside the likes of international stars like Jofra Archer, Jaydev Unadkat, and Varun Aaron and would have gotten to learn a lot.
Tyagi showed amazing maturity when captain Steve Smith gave him the ball and he bowled at good speeds as well. Much to look forward to from the youngster from Hapur, Uttar Pradesh in the 2021 IPL, if RR decides to retain him.
