In Fight For Middle-order Spots, It Could Be KL Rahul Or Shreyas Iyer, Says Sunil Gavaskar
ODI World Cup: The inclusion of both Ishan Kishan and K.L Rahul in the playing XI has received support from former India captain Sunil Gavaskar after the two wicketkeepers were selected in the 15-man squad for the ODI World Cup. In the middle-order, there should be a surplus of players, according to Gavaskar, and K.L Rahul and Shreyas Iyer may face off in the finals for a position.
"It could be a fight between K.L 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.
