KL Rahul has been around for a while now. The right-handed batsman clearly is a handy customer, owing to his distinctive capabilities. However, he hasn't lived up to the hype thus far in international cricket. Despite having given a lot of chances, the Bangalore-born cricketer hasn't been consistent especially in one-day and Test cricket.

He has been tried at several positions ranging from opening the innings to batting at number four. Though from his career-chart, it's easily visible that he likes to play up the order. So, if India is looking to bat Kohli at four, Rahul surely would be the most probable option to bat at three.

The 26-year-old owns shots all-around the park and most importantly, knows how to play those big knocks. In English conditions where new-ball is always hard to get off, players like Rahul who like to send the ball to outfield play a crucial role.
