Will Be Interesting To See Where ‘most Experienced Batter’ Rahul Is Slotted, Says WV Raman
With Rohit Sharma: Former India men’s batter WV Raman stated it will be interesting to see where KL Rahul, the team’s most experienced batter on the upcoming Test tour of England, will bat in the lineup, given his skillset of making runs irrespective of being moved up and down the batting order.
With Rohit Sharma retiring from Tests, and barring any last-minute surprises, Rahul is all but certain to be the opener alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. It also helps that Rahul, who has 58 Test caps, made an assured 116 and 51 for India A against England Lions in the second multi-day match in Northampton.
Though there’s a school of thought which feels that number five is where Rahul could add solidity, Rahul’s experience, patience and ability to stay put against the moving ball, as well as guide young Jaiswal in navigating difficult situations in England make him an ideal fit as the top of the order.
