With Shikhar Dhawan injured, KL Rahul is certain to open and that debate has been put to rest for the moment. Rahul has been in excellent form in the recent past. In ODI cricket, his batting position has shuffled around but he’s remained constant at the top of the order in T20Is.

Moreover, he’s consistently got runs as well and may have well earned to right to be called India’s No. 1 T20 opener alongside Rohit Sharma. The Karnataka lad was the second-best Indian batsman in T20Is in 2019. He scored 356 runs at an average of 44.50 and a strike-rate of 142.40. He started 2020 with on a great note as well.

Rahul got a couple of good knocks against Sri Lanka before showing his versatility against the Aussies. He’s been hitting the ball really well and the tracks in New Zealand will aid his stroke play. Also, this is Rahul’s first tour to New Zealand as well.
