Most likely ICC World Test XI 2016-17

#2 K.L Rahul

K.L Rahul has been in great touch this season with consistent performances

Rahul, at one stage, had scored seven consecutive half-centuries which is a joint record for the most consecutive half-centuries in Tests. He was brilliant in the series against Australia as he single-handedly rescued India in the second Test in Bengaluru.

Although he scored a sole 199 against England, he would have learnt how to build a Test innings and will be looking forward to his chances in South Africa to prove his mettle. With an average of 48.96, he should be part of this elite squad.
