Rahul leads Punjab Kings in IPL; he is set to be seen in action on Sunday
Rahul made his India debut in 2014 in the Boxing-Day Test against Australia in Melbourne. He hit his first Test hundred in only his second match - the New Year's Test of 2015 in Sydney.
Since then, the right-handed batsman has played 36 Tests, 38 ODIs and 49 T20Is for India.
Rahul pivoted from being a Test specialist in his early days to an all-formats batsman, and he has now established himself in India's limited-overs teams while also being a part of the Test team.
He has also donned the gloves for India, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore and until recently he was India's first-choice wicket-keeper in limited-overs cricket.
