Ladies and gentlemen brace yourself for probably the most exciting phase of Indian cricket 

Shaw

Gill

Rahul chahar

Saini

Pant

Bumrah

Nagarkoti

Kuldeep

 

Yes this is the golden generation every one has been waiting for

These are all going to be greats of the game

Be ready

there are some reasons to be optimistic, but it's too early to say for most of them.

 

I am very doubtful about shaw and nagarkoti given their fitness records. kuldeep is too slow: he will be rendered ineffective on lots of pitches. Saini is a genuine quick, but there are many more nuances to fast bowling

 

of the others, bumrah and pant have already taken good strides to becoming great players in tests.

I think nagarkoti will be best of the lot. 

Plz just see him run in on YouTube

I've seen him. it's not his talent that matters, but his fitness. what's good about having great skills but a fragile body?

premature OTT reactions.... Rahane,Rohit,Dhwan,Pujara all were  exciting talents before they started out ...Baring Kohli all  have been 'one format' batsmen  who have not been instrumental  in  winning even a single series of substantial weightage  in either format . That is the real truth.  

chepu was argaubly the major contributor to our win in Oz.

Dhawan was our best batsman when we won the 2013 CT. Pujara has been our best or the 2nd best batsman in most of our Test series wins in this decade. What are you on about?

yes ... I went a bit OTT  w.r.t results achieved... but yet Rahane,Rohit,Dhwan,Pujara  have no where been near to the calibre of that 'Sachin,Dravid,Ganguly,Sehwag,Gambhir,Dhoni'  group .  Our batting has regressed a lot  when compared to that golden era.

The welcome change is those mentioned in OP don't seem to be one format talent.

rohit, dhawan, chepu all made debuts around the same time and were initially seen as multi-format talents. chepu, for instance, had (and still has) a List A in the 50s which was rare then. similarly, hitman had a high avg in ranji FCs and was also seen a test prospect (some deluded people - namely, selectors - still see him as one today).

 

on a different note there have been plenty of false starts in the past. people like Kambli, Sir Aggy and LR Shukla (next Kapils) were all seen as "great" talents, and some of them even had good domestic records. of the OP's list, if even half become good cricketers it will be a success.
