#2 KL Rahul
KL Rahul will play a big role in the absence of Virat Kohli in the middle order. Though he has looked completely out of sorts in whites, he has been in an incredible form in the limited overs format.
In the T20 series against England, Rahul scored a scintillating century and continued his sublime form. While in the IPL 2018 edition, he scored 659 runs at an amazing strike-rate of 140 and has 10 half-centuries to his name.
The Karnataka batsman has a strong technique and the ability to score runs quickly when on a song. He might be used at number three slot and would like to grab this opportunity with both hands to make a strong case for the World Cup 2019.
