KL Rahul will play as a specialist batsman in the Test series against England – claims BCCI official

KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian cricketer KL Rahul, after an incredible comeback in Test cricket, will be seen playing not as a wicketkeeper but as a specialist batsman in the home Test series against England. Rahul played in the two-Test series against South Africa and scored a brilliant century in Centurion. However, according to the TOI report, the team management wants to use him as a specialist batsman and not a wicketkeeper on the turning tracks at home. A BCCI source made a big revelation regarding KL Rahul A BCCI source was quoted by TOI as saying, “Rahul will play as a specialist batsman from now on. While in overseas Tests you just have to stand up to the fast bowlers, wicketkeeping is not easy in India, where the spinners can work in tandem. The ball may bounce or spin faster on spin-friendly home wickets. You have to move up and down as a ‘keeper. “We want a specialist in that role.” The source further said, “Rahul, on the other hand, is one of our most valuable batsmen. We don’t want to trouble him by making him keep wickets. There is also a risk of injury if he stands behind the stumps. Which we cannot tolerate. Bharat and Dhruv Jurel will be our wicketkeepers in this series.” There has been a lot of debate about Ishan Kishan’s availability after he asked for a break due to mental fatigue during the South Africa tour. Whereas there were many reports that the team management had thrown him out due to his poor attitude. But later coach Rahul Dravid clarified in a press conference that Ishaan has not yet made himself available for selection. Regarding this matter, the source said, “He (Ishan) has not been considered for the England series because he has not yet told the BCCI whether he can be considered for selection again or not.” Also read: This Australian star cricketer suddenly retired from cricket

Rinku Singh will be the only left handed batsman in Team India in T20 World Cup – Aakash Chopra

Rinku Singh’s performance so far in the T-20 format has been excellent. Rinku Singh. (Image Source: BCCI) Former Indian team opener Aakash Chopra believes that Rinku Singh can be the only left-handed batsman in the middle order of the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the T20 format after 14 months has closed the doors for other batsmen. Let us tell you that the Indian team is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I think left-handed players will not be in the World Cup. When you choose your top 6 batsmen, you will get only one left-handed batsman, only one, I am not kidding. If Rohit and Virat Kohli start the innings and Suryakumar Yadav comes at number three. You don’t have a wicketkeeper in the top-3. If Jitesh does wicketkeeping then he is a right-handed player. If Hardik comes down then he is also a ride hander. Only one left-handed batsman will be able to make a place in the middle order.” Aakash Chopra made a big claim about Rinku Singh He further said, “If we look at this time, it will be left-handed player Rinku Singh. You will have one or two more left handed players in your team. “Even after preparing to give opportunities to left-handed players last year, we will not be able to make room for those left-handers.” Talking about Rinku Singh, he has performed brilliantly in the T20 format so far. He has scored 278 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 180. He has scored one half-century. He is an expert in finishing the match. Aakash Chopra said that perhaps all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could be the second left-handed batsman. Let us tell you that earlier there was a lot of discussion on the issue whether the selectors will give a chance to young players in the upcoming T-20 World Cup or will they give a chance to experienced players like Virat and Rohit. But looking at the thinking of the team management think tank, it seems that Virat and Rohit can be given a chance in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

This gives West Indies players another chance to improve: Pooran Ahead of the clash with MI, Pooran said that the game is played on its day, no matter who is in his team. There are many skilled players in our team and we have a very good lineup. This is a competition between bat and ball. Whoever can maintain his composure for a longer period has higher chances of winning. We are ready and we look forward to the challenge.
