Rahul is expected to be a vital cog in India’s batting line-up in the upcoming ODIs and T20Is against Australia. He was the leading run-scorer – 670 runs – in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League and bagged the Orange Cap. His consistency with the bat earned him a spot in all the three formats.

Earlier this year, Rahul was phenomenal in New Zealand when India whitewashed the Kiwis 5-0 in the T20Is. He also performed well in the ODI series which India lost 0-3. In the upcoming ODI series against Australia, he is likely to open the innings with Shikhar Dhawan. Whereas in T20Is, he could be paired with in-form Mayank Agwarwal.

India’s tour of Australia begins with 3 ODIs followed by as many T20Is. The last leg of the tour will be the 4-match Test series which will commence from December 17 in Adelaide.
