#1 KL Rahul
KL Rahul was amazing this year in the white ball cricket. Rahul redefined himself as an attacking batsman after an amazing IPL season.
The Karnataka lad is an extremely talented batsman who has the ability to hit the shots all over the ground. He scored 659 runs in the complete season, his highest in a single season.
His classical shots mixed with his impeccable technique makes him a worthy player for No. 3 spot in the team in the absence of Kohli.
He batted at No. 3 in the first T20 against England and he hit a remarkable hundred. Rahul also scored a well fought hundred under pressure in the second inning of the final test match against England.
Rahul is timing the white ball beautifully so he should be given more chances to prove his caliber.
