2. KL Rahul
With the injury of Shikhar Dhawan, all eyes will be on KL Rahul as he tries to make the opening spot his own before the beginning of the T20 World Cup.
The Karnataka-based opener is enjoying a stellar year. After a strong showing at the 50-over World Cup in England and a strong IPL, the stylish right-hander has just won the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament with Karnataka.
Rahul has scored 192 runs in six T20Is this year, with two half-centuries at an average of 38.40 and a strike rate of 134.26. He will be hoping to cement his position in the staring XI with a strong showing in the series against West Indies.
