A tall, elegant right-hand batsman who can keep wicket in a crisis, KL Rahul is among the most highly rated opening batsmen in India's current set-up.

He was a part of India's squad in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup and made his first-class debut later that year. After finishing as top run getter in Red Bull Campus Cricket 2013, he had a breakthrough domestic season in 2013-14, laying the foundation for Karnataka's Ranji Trophy victory with 1033 runs, which included three centuries, three nineties, and a Man-of-the-Match performance in the final.
