Riyan Parag and Harshit Rana are two fresh faces in the ODI squad.
India will play their opening match against the Sikandar Raza-captained Zimbabwe at the Harere Cricket Ground on Saturday.
The Royals coach told reporters that while he did not know if Parag would be picked for the World Cup in the West Indies and United States in June the player's performances in the IPL showed how good he could be.
Parag hit seven fours and six sixes, including smashing Anrich Nortje for 25 runs in the final over, to make his best-ever IPL score in a brilliant match-winning effort for Royals against DC.
Parag brought up his third first-class hundred and his second successive ton this season.
Parag scored just four runs off the first eight balls he faced.
Parag bowled just one over in the Punjab Kings innings and had his arm almost perpendicular to his body when he bowled the third ball of the over to Chris Gayle.
