Ajinkya Rahane:
Rahane is yet to replicate his Test form in the coloured jersey but an experienced campaigner like him has a good chance to open the innings for India in the upcoming tournament. He was given a chance to prove his credentials as an opener during the New Zealand series but failed miserably. He managed to score only 143 runs in five outings.
But considering his track records as an opener in the Indian Premier League and his overseas performances in recent times, he is also a good contender to grab the opening spot.
