It will be interesting to see who gets the spot in the Indian squad. Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson, and Sandeep Sharma are just a few of the big names who are performing astonishingly well in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League and are one of the biggest running contenders in the race.

The wicket-keeper spot is the biggest topic of discussion for the Indian team. Rishabh Pant is the front-runner in this race but players like Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, and Jitesh Sharma are competing for the same spot. As per many reports, Rishabh Pant is most likely set to make his much-awaited return to the Indian team
