With Pant not doing well and mystery surrounding Dhoni's international future, Shastri didn't rule out the possibility of Rahul doing multi-tasking during the marquee tournament 'Down Under'.

The secret has long been out. Win toss, force India to bat first, and the game is yours. But what changed for India in their win against West Indies in 3rd T20I?

Rohit Sharma was at ease speaking about football, his favourite player, team and club after being named the India brand ambassador of La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Indian captain Virat Kohli has entered the top 10 in the ICC T20I Rankings, while KL Rahul remains the highest-ranked Indian batsman.

KL Rahul said he misses Hardik Pandya the most in the dressing room and hoped he came back soon after recovering from his injury.

Before the match, India had a poor record of losing T20I while batting first and Rahul said that Mumbai will be a confidence booster for the team and they will continue to improve.

Virat Kohli smashed 70 not out of 29 balls with a strike-rate of 241.38, smashing four boundaries and seven sixes at the Wankhede Stadium in the series decider against West Indies.

KL Rahul slammed 91 off 56 deliveries and was adjudged Man of the Match in the third T20I against West Indies in Mumbai.

KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shined with the bat as India beat West Indies by 67 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

KL Rahul played an important innings of 62 during the first T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad.

He faced a suspension at the start of the year, lost his Test spot midway, but as December approached, Rahul embraced a new-found direction to prove his worth and spot in the Indian lineup for World T20 2020.

Rahul, who was promoted as an opener in the absence of injured Shikhar Dhawan, grasped the chance with both hands by scoring a 40-ball 62

Targeting 208, KL Rahul struck an impressive 62 off 40 balls before Kohli stamped his authority with his career-best knock of 94 runs as India reached the target with eight balls remaining

In 2019, Shikhar Dhawan has not been at his best and has scored 272 runs in the 12 T20Is he played for India.

After a decent campaign against Bangladesh, Rahul continued with his form in T20s, amassing 313 runs in eight matches in Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament at an average of 52.16 and strike rate of 155.72.

India will continue their preparations for the T20 World Cup in Australia and many players, whose places are not yet secure, will try to impress the team management and selectors with their performances against the West Indies.

Virat Kohli took to Twitter and share a photo with teammates KL Rahul and Shivam Dube en route Hyderabad.

KL Rahul's unbeaten 84 helped Karnataka cruise to a seven-wicket win over Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

In the challenge, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul were asked to compete for 30 seconds and whosoever performs the maximum number of times would win it.

While Virat Kohli's workload will be a talking point, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are both expected to be named in the squad for the T20I series against Bangladesh.
