For years, MS Dhoni donned three roles --- of a player, captain, and a finisher with the bat. Additionally, he was a guide to the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav over the last few years, even chiding them for straying away from the line and plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now, KL Rahul is most likely to step into his shoes in the ODI series that begins on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rahul played as a wicketkeeper-batsman in India's last ODI series in New Zealand and excelled with the bat scoring big in two of those three ODIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Nobody can fill the place of MS Dhoni. He has obviously shown us the way or the wicketkeeper-batsman's role - how it should be done and obviously we have learned a lot from MS Dhoni," said Rahul in a media interaction while replying to a question on how he hopes to fill Dhoni's shoes with regard to dealing with spinners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Me with Yuzi (Yuzvendra Chahal), Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja), and Kuldeep (Yadav) and other spinners in the team we have a decent friendship and understanding in the middle. Yeah I think, I will probably go and give them feedback as to what can be a better pace or length to bowl at or if something is going wrong or you can change the field setting," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In his last ODI series for India, in New Zealand in February this year, Rahul played all three games as a wicketkeeper-batsman. He took a catch and effected a stumping in those games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think anybody doing that role of a wicketkeeper will have that responsibility (to tell bowlers including spinners to do) and like I said I have done this in one series in New Zealand. I enjoyed that and I can get with reading the games and give the bowlers the captain, some good feedback from behind the stumps," he added.
