India vs England 2016: India's predicted XI for the third Test

#2 KL Rahul

“Rahul is our number one opener along with Murali Vijay”. Virat Kohli didn’t mince his words when discussing the opening combination before the second Test. Although Rahul failed in both the innings in Vizag – scoring 0 and 10 – he is fine prospect for team India, with the ability to score big hundreds quickly.

Given the fact the Virender Sehwag revolutionalized the way a Test opener approached batting, Rahul comes from the same school of thought, and it might not be a surprise if Rahul scores a quick-fire hundred on day one if India bat first.
