New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: In Rohit Sharma, K L Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan, India are spoilt for choice at the top of the order, but batting coach Vikram Rathour has called it a "good dilemma" to have. Sharma had a phenomenal 2019, having struck five centuries in the World Cup. Dhawan, who made a comeback in the T20I squad in the recently-concluded three-match series against Sri Lanka, was also among the runs, while Rahul, too, is in tremendous form with the bat.
"It's a good dilemma to have. Rohit is an obvious choice of course. Both of them (Shikhar and Rahul) are playing well. Shikhar has done well in one- dayers and Rahul is in great form. So we'll deal with it when we have to," PTI quoted Rathour as saying.

"There are still a couple of days to go. The management will sit down and make the choice," he told reporters ahead of the first first fixture against Aussies.
The series kicks-off at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on January 14 (Tuesday). The second one-dayerwill be held in Rajkot on January 17 and the third will be played in Bengaluru on January 19.

When the batting coach was inquired about the relevance of the series in a T20 World Cup year, Rathour said, "It's a different format and cricket is a game of confidence. So as a batter and bowler, especially when you are playing against a team like Australia, who are one of the better teams in the world, performances do make a difference."
"We'll take it as any other series and playing against one of the better sides in the world, we are looking to do well as a team, looking to perform and win if possible," he added.
