- KL Rahul:
It’s either feast or famine for this elegant stroke maker, as consistency has been an aspect alien to Rahul. After two poor Tests against England, Rahul was under the microscope at Chennai but responded in some style with an eye-catching 199. The consequent ODI series which followed, though, witnessed a lull for Rahul as he struggled for runs. A loose shot against Taskin Ahmed at Hyderabad saw him being the only Indian batsman to miss out in the one-off game against Bangladesh. With his place not yet certain, a big score at Pune is the need of the hour for Rahul.
