The inclusion of both Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul in India`s middle-order became the talk of the town ever since chief selector Ajit Agarkar announced a 15-man squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar welcomed the move, saying there should be a surplus of players in the middle, but Rahul and Shreyas Iyer may face off in the finals for the ultimate position.
"It could be a fight between KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in the Super Fours in the Asia Cup. With the kind of form that Ishan Kishan showcased against Pakistan, if both of them play, it might be a good idea to let Ishan keep wickets because if Rahul has undergone recovery from an injury, then getting up and down might be a bit of an issue. It makes sense to have Ishan to keep wickets. It could actually be a fight between Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul for the No. 4 and No. 5 positions," Sunil Gavaskar said on Tuesday.
