The Indian Cricket Team has a big queue of players who are waiting for a call-up. In the game against Bangladesh, we saw Kuldeep Sen get his national cap after having a spectacular season with the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. There are many such players. Shahbaz Ahmed too got picked for the national team, and in the absence of Axar Patel, he started the game. With injuries and mental breaks becoming a part of the game, there is always an opportunity. Here is a look at the top 3 players who can get their India cap very soon:
1) Rajat Patidar will play for the Indian Cricket Team:
Rajat Patidar has been piling on the performances for the past two years in the domestic circuit. Considering the fact that his Madhya Pradesh teammate has got a call-up, Rajat’s call-up is nearby too. Patidar is exceptional in the middle order. The Indian team has been looking for a solid number 4 batter. Currently, Shreyas Iyer is getting the job done but Rajat can be a good fit too. He played 2 solid seasons of the IPL for RCB. He was effectively packed by the RCB management. If he decided to go in the auction, he would get the big bucks too.

2) Rahul Tripathi will play for the Indian Cricket Team:
Rahul Tripathi has been piling on the performances season after season. Tripathi started his hard work during the 2016 IPL season. He burst on the scene when he opened the batting for them. His timing is exceptional. With Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Ambati Rayudu, Mandeep Singh, and many other batters in the race, his chance is yet to come. He has nearly 2000 runs as an uncapped batter in the IPL. He is very well known for his discipline. Players like Harbhajan Singh and Gary Kirsten have spoken a lot about his work ethic. He is a team man. Only an Indian Cricket Team cap will do justice to his ability.

3) Sarfaraz Khan will play for the Indian Cricket Team:
He started his domestic career for Mumbai Cricket Association. Further, he went on to play a few seasons for his home state Uttar Pradesh. When none of these things worked, he came back to where he belonged. He led Mumbai to win the Ranji Trophy. He scored 982 runs at an average of 122.7 in the Rani Trophy. He will be soon called to the Indian Cricket Team.
