Indian Test Captain Virat Kohli said that KL Rahul deserves in playing XI as he batted really well in last couple of season. Lokesh Rahul missed out on the First Test match at Galle as he was down with the flu. Rahul last played against the Australians back in March in the Fourth Test at Dharamsala and later pulled out of the IPL and Champions Trophy due to the shoulder injury he sustained during the First Test at Pune.
