Here Are 4 Players Who Can Replace KL Rahul As Opener For Team India In T20Is
In India's 1st match in Asia Cup this year, captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul opened the innings for the Indian team. However, this was KL Rahul's 1st T20I this year, owing to his injuries. Rahul was dismissed for a golden duck against Pakistan, which has left the experts and fans wondering as to whether this player should have been given more game time instead of making a comeback directly in a prestigious tournament.
In 39 innings as an opener, Rahul has scored 1,392 runs at an average of 38.66 while striking at 140.46 with 15 fifties at this position. However, while batting in the middle order, Rahul has scored 439 runs in 14 innings with an average of 43.90 while striking at 148.81, including 2 centuries and a fifty. In a highly unlikely case, team India might look to replace KL Rahul as an opener for the upcoming T20Is.
