#2 KL Rahul

One of the three Indian batsmen to hit a hundred in all three formats of the game, Rahul has been in imperious form thus far in the Vivo IPL.
With Dhawan and Rohit farming the opening slots, Rahul, who averages 45.45 in 15 T20I matches thus far, has had to remain in the foreshadow of the aforementioned pair
One of the most endearing qualities of Rahul over a period has been his ability to adjust his game according to the situation.
While he can up the ante when the asking rate goes high, he can play the role of an anchor around which the shenanigans of the likes of Pandya and Dhoni can takeover.
One of the criticism levied against Rahul is his ability to spin, and the vile Karnataka batsman went a long way in squashing the notion as he plundered Amit Mishra to all corners of the ground during his record-breaking 14-ball fifty against DD in the 2018 edition of IPL.
