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

This brilliant performance led Melbourne Renegades to a six-wicket win against Melbourne Stars at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. His brilliant BBL 13 journey with three half-centuries has now come to an end. Shaun Marsh took retirement from professional cricket “I have loved playing for the Renegades, I have met some special people over the last five years and the friendships I have made will last a lifetime,” Shaun Marsh was quoted as saying by the Melbourne Renegades’ official website. The players playing in this group are very special and they have been very good to me and are very good teammates and friends as well.” He further said that, our members and fans became very emotional and I am very grateful for their support during this time. Let us tell you that in the current season of Big Bash League, Marsh has scored 181 runs in five matches. Along with this, he has scored 3 half-centuries at an average of 45.25.

Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma from now on – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, analyzing his return to T20I cricket, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Kohli should partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He believes that Virat has a great template and it takes some time for him to settle down. In such a situation, he advised that if Kohli bats in the powerplay, he will get a good opportunity to make a fast start, which will benefit the team. Virat Kohli should follow his set template- Aakash Chopra In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, if you look at the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a style of playing and when he follows that template he scores a lot of runs. Even in T20, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to score runs at a strike rate of 150, he does so in the powerplay. The 46-year-old former cricketer further said, “In New York or West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of scoring runs in the first six overs. So ideally you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start doing it now.” Chopra spoke openly about the complexity of the Indian batting unit at this time. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the side, it is unclear which path the team management will take. If Virat is asked to bat at number three and either Jaiswal or Gill opens, it will force Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number four.
