KL Rahul is one of those cricketers who had a dream start to their careers but later had to prove their worth after being inconsistent and taking the repeated chances for granted. Though one might condemn his current form, no one can deny that he's a quality cricketer and his debut series against Australia proved the fact to the world.

After failing in his first Test match against Australia at the MCG, he was given another chance at the SCG and scored a splendid hundred in tough batting conditions. He made rapid inroads into the limited-overs team breaking several records but Test cricket remained his forte.

He hadn't quite established himself in the format but a home Test series against Australia in early 2017 showed his class to the entire world.

In a series where Virat Kohli and all the other batsmen except Pujara failed, Rahul stood apart and saved India on numerous occasions and made 7 half-centuries in the 8 innings he played in. This series was the making of his Test career and that class he showed is why he's being given chances despite having a lean phase in form.

After taking off in his Test career against the opponents, Rahul would want to reboot his limited-overs career in the upcoming home series.
