5. KL Rahul (WK) 

The new vice-captain of team India, KL Rahul is expected to bat in the middle order. Naturally a top-order batsman, Rahul is an ultimate team man and has now become the new finisher of the India side. 

As a batsman, the elegant batsman is at the peak of his powers as he is in full command of his game. In IPL 2020, Rahul has outperformed every other batsman and is currently the leading run-getter in the competition. It will be fascinating to see how Rahul helps captain Kohli from behind the stumps during the ODI series.
