India vs England 2016: India's predicted XI for the second Test

#2 KL Rahul

“Rahul is our number one opener along with Murali Vijay”. Virat Kohli didn’t mince his words when discussing the opening combination for the second Test. As harsh as it might be for Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul is set to be in the playing XI, taking his place back from the KKR skipper after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Having proven his fitness and form with a 76 and 106 against Rajasthan in the Ranji Trophy, Rahul was included in the squad ahead of the Vizag Test.
