India vs Sri Lanka 2017: 5 positives for India from the T20I series

#! KL Rahul to partner Rohit at the top in T20Is?

KL Rahul scored two half-centuries in three games

A lot of big names were rested for the series and hence the team looked like a depleted side. However, KL Rahul rose to the occasion and performed consistently in the three games. Two fifties in three innings at the top speaks volumes about the talent of the 25-year-old batsman.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore player, who currently acts as the second fiddle to the Delhi-born southpaw Shikhar Dhawan, is too good to be kept out of the playing eleven. Rahul averages 50.88 in T20 internationals, more than twice of what Shikhar averages. Also, Rahul has scored the same number of half-centuries as that of Shikhar in 17 fewer innings.

Shikhar is, undoubtedly, a great batsman but it would be a sin to keep Rahul out of the team for the southpaw.
