#2 KL Rahul
Although KL Rahul is already in the T20 squad for the series, he may be benched due to more experienced performers in the team. However, he has been in tremendous form this IPL season, with 659 runs from 14 innings at an average of 55 and strike rate of 158!
In that case, the management might not have to rope in any new member, and just play KL Rahul in place of the Indian skipper. The 26-year-old has played 15 T20Is for India, from which he has 500 runs.
