Kannur Lokesh Rahul, who is also known as KL Rahul is one of the finest batsmen in the squad. He is a great wicket-keeping batsman, who is well known for his style and power on the field. KL Rahul is a fantastic Indian right-handed batsman with a batting average of 47.6 in ODIs, 45.6 in T20s, and 34.6 in Tests. KL Rahul has also been spotted as an opener in several matches. His consistency and excellency on the field have impressed many. In fact, KL Rahul has also done wonders in domestic cricket. He has been a part of and is currently the captain of the Indian Premier League (IPL) team – Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). He has also been a member of the Karnataka team too.
Even though KL Rahul has got huge recognition in domestic cricket and some at the international level, he didn’t get many international opportunities. But the player deserves more international opportunities. The Indian cricket team has got openers like Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan has always been the perfect choice for it. But KL Rahul has also made everyone stunned with his opening skills. In fact, he is the fastest batsman to have scored centuries in all the three formats, within 20 innings. There is also no better wicket-keeping batsman in the squad as compared to him. Rishabh Pant can be a choice, but KL Rahul has got more experience.
