Senior Indian batter, KL Rahul made his Test debut for India in the Boxing-day Test match in Melbourne against Australia in 2014. Since then, he has delivered some excellent knocks with the bat for India in the longest format of the game. He averages around 35 after playing 43 Tests.

Rohit Sharma has a very cherishing Test career against his name so far as an opener in Tests but will probably miss the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh due to dislocated thumb injury suffered in the 2nd ODI. He averages around 46 after playing 45 Tests.
