England v India - 3rd Vitality International T20
KL Rahul will be looking to capitalize on the chances he gets in the series

In a matter of two years, a period in which he was battling multiple injuries, KL Rahul has gone from being the 98th ranked T20I batsman to the 2nd in the recently released ICC rankings. Rahul’s form of late both in the IPL and the T20Is against England and Ireland has been nothing short of astonishing.

There has been speculation about his position in the batting order as well. It remains to be seen if Rahul will bat at 3 or 4, but in ODIs, he will have more time to get himself set and then launch off a platform, a luxury that is often not afforded in T20Is. Rahul will be looking to make the most of this opportunity and cement his place in the Indian ODI team.
