#3 KL Rahul
Not many would have been surprised to see KL Rahul's selection in the squad for the tour. Why would one be? His stellar batting display in the IPL 2016 where he scored 397 runs in 14 matches including 4 half centuries made him a top contender to be selected when the BCCI decided to give youngsters an opportunity.
Touted as a traditional Test Cricketer, many disregarded him of playing the short formats of the game. However, Rahul has silenced his critics with his bat. He is a great ‘timer’ of the Cricket ball and has a wide range of shots which helps him to adapt his game to different conditions.
His range of shots along with his temperament makes him a complete package who can prove fruitful in shorter formats of the game.
