#1 KL Rahul

51 off 16, KL Rahul began his IPL campaign tremendously as he scored the joint fastest fifty in IPL history. In the first game against the Delhi Daredevils Rahul played some delightful shots to score a 15 ball fifty. In the later games, Rahul further repaid the faith back by playing some blistering knocks. The classical batsman is a part of India's T20 and Test setup.
Rahul can open the innings and can also mark his presence in the middle order. With his exuberant strokeplay, Rahul can take the responsibility of batting at number four in the one-day side. He can be handy in swinging conditions in England. The upcoming series against England will decide his fate.
The Karnataka batsman is likely to be picked for all three formats against England owing to his recent performances.
