With Rishabh Pant on the long road to recovery, KL Rahul’s ‘dual role’ for Team India has suddenly acquired added significance. Not least because the country will be hosting the ICC World Cup after more than a decade.
“When you choose a team game, you need to be flexible in the mind and do whatever the team requires of you. I’ve done this [keeping wickets] for a couple of years now; since the end of 2019, through 2020 and for a few games in 2021,” Rahul was quick to remind after guiding India to victory over Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI here with an unbeaten 64.
