Ishant, one of the senior cricketers in the team, has been one of the driving factors for team India’s run at the number one spot of the ICC Test rankings. He holds the records for most wickets taken by an Indian bowler outside Asia in International games.

Shikhar Dhawan on the other hand has been excellent in the limited-overs formats for the team. He has performed consistently for the team in ICC events and holds the record for the fastest Indian batsman to reach 2000 and 3000 runs in ODI cricket.

Deepti Sharma is a world-class all-rounder and holds the record for the highest score by an Indian cricketer in Women’s ODI cricket.
