Excellent shot!KL Rahul was dropped from India's final playing XI when he was the last part of the national side in T20Is vs England earlier this year and then the Indian skipper Virat Kohli made a statement that he wants to open in the format. With the T20 World Cup next month KL Rahul is still unsure for his spot as a first-choice Indian opener. However if Virat opens then the team management also has an option to send Rahul one or two down as he got two T20I tons batting in the middle order. A lot will depend on how he goes in this IPL.
