The stylish opening batsman from Karnataka, KL Rahul is currently one of the most talented players in the Indian cricket fraternity. Rahul is in the list of very few Indian batsmen to have scored a century in all three formats. The 27-year-old has been very underrated as an ODI player as he has not got enough opportunities to showcase his talent in the format.

Rahul is in tremendous form at the moment as he had an amazing IPL 2019 and he also scored a century in the warm-up game against Bangladesh while batting at number four. With that, he has almost cemented his place as the number four batsman in the team. The right-hander could prove to be a match-winner for the Indian team at the World Cup if he could carry on his form in the tournament.

It will be fascinating to watch if Rahul will be able to utilize the opportunity at number four in the tournament.
