#3 KL Rahul
KL Rahul got off to a poor start to the season. The right-handed batsman was looking short on confidence after a horrible 2018 in Test cricket. The Karnataka batsman lost his place in the Indian team and his career seemed to have hit a low.

He worked on his game as he started to take a bit of time on the crease before going for his shots. Since making that small adjustment he has been brilliant in the tournament. Rahul is the second highest scorer in the tournament with 317 runs to his name.
The right-handed batsman has scored one century and three half-centuries in the process. These brilliant performances have brought Rahul back into the reckoning for the World Cup squad. India has a settled top three so there is no need for another top-order batsman. While Rahul has been groomed as a top-order batsman he can be a good option in the middle-order.
