#3 Hit: KL Rahul
After an impressive season in the IPL, KL Rahul was selected in the squad and given an opportunity in the first game itself. Slotted at one-down, Rahul came to the crease in the first over after Dhawan was clean bowled by David Willey.
Rahul made a mockery of the run chase as he went after the bowlers from ball one. His timing was on point and so was his shot selection. Rahul was unbeaten as he registered his second T20I century in just 53 balls. With 10 boundaries and five sixes, Rahul made 101 from 54 deliveries.
If Rahul continues to perform in a similar manner, he may just become India's number three on a regular basis.
