India vs Australia 2019: 3 Indian players for whom the ODI series is very crucial 

#1 KL Rahul

KL Rahul is once again back amongst the runs

Exactly a year ago, Lokesh Rahul was a permanent member in the Indian setup in all the three formats of the game. However, a sudden lean patch forced his exile from the Indian team. Besides, the infamous controversy in the ‘Koffee with Karan’ TV show damaged his reputation. Moreover, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) indefinitely suspended both Rahul and Hardik Pandya for their remarks on the TV show.

Later, BCCI provisionally lifted the suspension and Rahul was back with India A setup. Rahul’s good run of form with India A ensured him a recall to the limited-overs series against Australia. Rahul carried his India A form to the T20I series as he almost scored back-to-back half-centuries against Australia.

In the post-match press conference of the second game, Rahul stated that the suspension has made him humble and gave him ample time to reflect on his game. If Rahul carries his current form to the ODI series, then a place in the World Cup squad is not too far away.
