- KL Rahul
KL Rahul had an exceptional IPL season 11 for Kings XI Punjab. He scored 659 runs in 14 matches with an average of 54.91. During the tournament, the stylish right-handed opener hit 6 half centuries and was the lone batsman to carry Kings XI Punjab hopes of reaching the playoff stages but did not get support from others in the team.
Before the IPL, KL Rahul got only 2 chances to bat out of 3 matches he played in the Nidahas Tri-series including hosts Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in March this year, got starts but was not able to score big runs.
He has played 15 T20Is for team India and has a good average of 45.45 with the best score of 110*. KL Rahul could be an option at number 4 during the T20I series against Ireland and England, due to the brilliant form that was shown by him in IPL 11.
