2. Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow had a dream ODI series against Australia while opening the innings with Jason Roy. He scored 300 runs in the 5 matches with attacking stroke play. Bairstow made his T20I debut for England against West Indies in 2011 September. He has played so far 23 T20I matches and scored a total of 329 runs with the best score of 60* and 2 half-centuries to his name.

With India, a much tougher opponent the pair of Jason Roy and Bairstow could attack the Indian bowlers comfortably. Jonny Bairstow is currently the leading runs scorer in ODI for 2018 so far. He has scored so far 864 runs from 16 matches with an average of 54.00 with 4 centuries and 2 half-centuries.
Though Jonny Bairstow has little experience against the Indian bowlers, he could be a big threat with his attacking stroke play.
