#2 Opening Slot - Rohit Sharma or KL Rahul
Rohit Sharma had a dream run in 2017; scoring at least one hundred in every ODI tournament he was part of. He scored 1293 runs from 21 matches, with 6 hundreds, finishing as the second highest run-getter in the ODIs, only behind Virat Kohli.
The scintillating double hundred against Sri Lanka was an icing on the cake. However, Rohit could not continue his dream form in 2018, managing only 170 runs in 6 matches in South Africa, with a highest score of 115.
He also did not have a very good run in the IPL, with 286 runs from 14 matches. On the other hand, KL Rahul had a successful IPL as an opener, finishing as the third highest run scorer, with 659 runs from 14 matches. Though Shikhar Dhawan has cemented his place as one of the openers with premium knocks in South Africa and the IPL, this time we may see KL Rahul as his opening partner.
