Middle-order: Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and MS Dhoni
Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni pick themselves in every single limited overs international that India play; and with Virat Kohli all but confirming that KL Rahul will play in the second T20, it looks as if the number 4 spot will go to him.
Rahul had a fantastic IPL; however, that came opening the batting, and with India's combination of Rohit and Dhawan performing as well as it is, Rahul will have to, in the long term, make a place for himself in the middle order. In fact, several critics believe that Rahul could be the solution to India's search for that elusive number 4, and this match seems like the perfect opportunity to test that out before the big tour of England.
