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
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.

Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. (Photo Source: Getty Images) India and Afghanistan will face each other in the second T20I of the 3-match series on Sunday, January 14. This match will be played at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. India are leading the series against Afghanistan 1-0 after registering a comfortable 6-wicket win in the first T20 match in Mohali on Thursday, January 11.

He bowled an economical spell of 2 overs in which he gave only 9 runs and took one wicket. India’s middle order batsman Jitesh Sharma impressed with 31 runs in 20 balls and Rinku Singh scored 16 runs, helping India seal the win. After 14 months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be seen playing T-20 together for India. Rohit returned in the first match. Virat did not play in the first T20I due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, the biggest question in the minds of fans is that how will be the weather in Indore during the second T20I? IND vs AFG: How will be the weather in Indore? It was very cold in Mohali during the first T20. There will be no such situation in Indore. The weather here will be clear and there will be heat during the day which is good news for the players.

(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.
