| Player: | DB Ravi Teja |
An opening batsman, Ravi Teja was a regular in the Indian Under-19 setup before enjoying a prolific second Ranji season with Hyderabad, when he topped the run charts with 653 runs at an average of close to 60. That pushed his selection for the Deccan Chargers in the inaugural IPL and a fringe Indian squad for a short tour of Israel.
