- KL Rahul:
It is no mystery that Shastri shares a father like relationship with the young Indian batting sensation. It was under Shastri’s mentoring that Rahul made his international debut in Australia and soon emerged as the next batsman to watch out for, with attractive tons in Australia and Sri Lanka. Rahul as of now, is desperate to get back to full fitness and burst into the other two forms of the game as well, having already cemented his place as the first choice Test opener. With Shastri around, who rates Rahul tremendously, the Karnataka star could well be favored for a slot in the other two forms. Talent wise, he definitely has everything to make it large in all formats.
