It will be a 3D test for KL Rahul—as batter, wicketkeeper and captain—when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their first home game at the Ekana Stadium here today. Rahul showed no apparent discomfort when he led LSG in their opening game against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. His form and fitness looked fine.
His only drawback was that his team lost the game despite a fine half-century by the skipper himself. It was quite surprising to see Rahul don the wicketkeeping gloves when reportedly the BCCI’s medical team had advised him not to, in the initial part of the tournament. It seems he is confident about his fitness and has straightaway decided to stake a claim in India’s T20 World Cup squad as ’keeper-batter, a role he had performed well in last year’s 50-over World Cup held in India.
