Five players who have improved under Virat Kohli

#1 KL Rahul

Lokesh Rahul has been the favoured opener under Kohli in Tests

Lokesh Rahul is a player who has benefitted immensely from his IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore. He became a trusted figure in the top order in the RCB setup and created quite an impression on Virat Kohli who was quick to support the swashbuckling batsman.

All but two of his Tests have come under Kohli and in this short time, Rahul has risen above the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Gautam Gambhir in the Test line-up. He already has four hundreds in his Test career with a highest of 199 and is set to partner Murali Vijay when India tour South Africa and England.
