Who will become the next world no.1 player after Magnus Carlsen

We all know that Magnus Carlsen is very dangerous player in the world. Can anyone take Magnus Carlsen place.
I hope one of them can become the best.
Mr.Pushwood, Sarg0n, Thunderclap.

yes that will be me
I'd keep an eye on two players who are still teenagers, already in the top 15 on the FIDE Classical rankings & still improving; Praggnanandhaa & Keymer
Just having to fill in the name on the scoresheet for that one guy would be reason enough for me to resign.
This isn't very easy to answer. When magnus loses no.1 spot, by that time fabi and Hikaru and others in the top 10 will be too old for this so I guess then someone like Firouza and other youngsters like pragg , keymar, gukesh etc will be on the list. Very hard to predict who but one of them.
