KL Rahul
KL Rahul has had a tremendous start to his ODI career by hitting a century on his debut. His steadiness in the ODIs and heroics in Tests can most probably give him a ticket for the Champions Trophy, but his current form is a matter of concern for the Indian selectors. After a promising beginning to his career, he failed miserably against England in ODIs which was eventually the last limited-overs series of team India before the Champions Trophy. Skipper Virat Kohli is still in support of his opening batsmen as he thinks that they need time to be back in form.
As Indian selection panel is left with few options for the opening slot, there are higher chances that KL Rahul would make it to the Champions Trophy squad. However, the Karnataka batsman needs to bring back his excellent performance which he had a few months ago.
