All left handers, sound techique and good head.

They need a 500 run IPL season.

Tilak bats at 5 so unlikely that he will get 500 runs ( even though he did get 400 runs in his debut last IPL), But he looks the package.

Sai is new so can't be sure that he will get consistent opportunity to bat at 3. If he gets all 14 games, he can get close to 500 runs this season. 

Jaiswal will get all 14 games as a opener and he should do very well with the extra motivation of a looming Indian cap.

Tilak can do without a 500 run season if he becomes MI's best batsman this season.

 

Jaiswal will need a 500+ season as he opens and he is not a 150 strike rate batsman either.

 

Sai has quite some way to go before getting international cap as you yourself said he is still very new.

True....Jaiswal was good in flashes but not consistent till now..but I believe this year he might be able to break in. 
Hope he don't compromise on Strike rate...even if he score 400 runs at 140+ SR strike, I'll take it. We don't need more statpadders like Rahul, Dhawan who will score huge runs in IPL at cost of SR.

Suddenly promising batsman bursting through left, right and center.

 

not sold on gaekwad at int'l level. jaiswal needs to play tests asap. sai, tilak, and rinku need some Ind A exposure first, especially first two

They have to pick the right guy for right format.  Cannot randomly pick.  Jaiswal is a serious Test prospect. In case if they pick him as a T20 player and if he doesn't do well they shouldn't discard him from other formats. Ruturaj has good ODI potential given his VH exploits.  Sai Hope is at best Test candidate. Still very far away from these guys. Gill can truly be an all format player. But more suited for longer versions.

One problem is they all are top 3 batters...bring them down to 4 or below and they all will struggle in white ball formats...I don't see much vacancy there unless Rohit/Kohli give up (which isn't gonna happen anytime soon).
We have to look at middle order as well as we have open positions in white ball and T20 formats....and I think Rinku and Tilak are front runners alongwith Jurel and Abhinav Manohar. 

Ruturaj again can be a Test opener as well if he want to, he has good basics.

Since Rohit and Kohli are already confirmed, we really can pick only two out of Jaiswal, Gill and Sharma. Problem is you can't play Gill at the middle but then playing him with Rohit and Kohli will make it a imbalanced front 3.

 

If Kohli can be dropped (not happening though) , then Sharma/Rohit/ Jaiswal with Gill as backup is the way forward for T20 WC.

 

In middle order then we can pick from Pant, Dube, Parag, Sky, Rinku. Unfortunately with Kohli mandated to be selected by the sponsors, one of Rinku, Parag and Sky will get dropped.

India needs at least one X factor up the order.  Among the available Abhishek and Jaiswal are the only two that can play this. All the other guys take their own time and play.

Jaiswal numbers look mediocre, but he is one guy who can go absolute bonkers at the pp.

Abhishek has turned a leaf and is now striking well. 

Gill, Gaikwad are again in mould of Kohli, Rohit who will start slow..take time and then accelerate. Rahul won't do it even when get set.

Sai is a misfit for T20's. He may end up like Rahane.

Ruturaj's asset is he is equally good against pace and bounce once the movement is gone. The 30 run over against Glenn maxwell is an example. Gill's problem will still be spin. He cannot dominate them. He can survive at best these days. Ruturaj also dominated Bumrah and also Rashid with bat.  Jaiswal's problem impetus nature. Tries too much. But when he comes off he is box office. So he should still be in consideration. ABhishek is refreshing. Under tutelage of Yuvraj he has added extra gear to his batting.  He starts firing right of the bat.

Gaikwad is no where near Kohli or Rohit in terms of what they have achieved at their peak. He is more comparable to Uthappa and DK who promised a lot but remained inconsistent.
