1/5

The Jalandhar-born batsman is one of the most impressive cricketers in India's domestic circuit. He didn't get too many opportunities to prove his mettle in IPL 2016, but Mandeep will be keen to prove that he deserves to be a part of the Indian team. Having honed his skills under Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, Zimbabwe should be wary of the damage he can cause.

The leg-break googly bowler from Jind in Haryana is one of the most underrated spinners in India, which was mainly due to his comparatively modest figures in domestic circles, sans Indian Premier League. But thanks to his superb IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last two seasons, Indian selectors have rightly given Chahal the chance to shine in international stage.

The bowling all-rounder from Delhi should not waste this rare India opportunity. Thanks to his ability with both the bat and ball, the 26-year-old can give India the balance. And in the absence of an experience batting line-up, Yadav can hope to get some batting practice too.

4/5

While he was known to be most suited for the traditional format of the game, Lokesh Rahul shed the tag of a Test specialist with several brilliant knocks in IPL 2016. It's not easy to make an impact in a Royal Challengers Bangalore, a side which boasts of several world class batsmen. But Rahul did that exceptionally well, and with a sound technique, Rahul has another opportunity to prove that he can be an asset for the Indian cricket team, even in limited-overs cricket.

He was destined to be a top-batsman, but failed to make the international cut, thanks to the dept in India's batting line-up, in all three formats of the game. But this tour is a heaven-sent opportunity for the 24-year-old batsman, who has done more than enough to guarantee a national cap. He was one of the most impressive batsmen in IPL 2016 and the youngster would be looking to further strengthen his case of representing the Men in Blue in the time to come.
