India vs Australia 2017: Five talking points from India's side for first three ODIs

#2 No. 1 or No. 4: Where will KL Rahul bat?

KL Rahul struggled against Sri Lanka but may be given another go in the middle-order

One of the few disappointments for India in the limited-overs series win against Sri Lanka was the form of KL Rahul, who was used in the middle-order by the team management.

The right-hander fell to the spin of Akila Dananjaya in few of the matches, raising concerns regarding his ability to adjust in the middle-order.

However, there is a strong chance that the management would give him another go in the middle-order for two reasons:

1.The pairing of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma at the top have been excellent, ever since they first opened in 2013.

2.The management would want to give Rahul some more time to get used to playing in that role, if they do see him as a long-term option.

It will be interesting to see if Rahul can get his act together at home.
