Both of them have been named within the squad for the primary Test in opposition to Bangladesh.
While commenting on KL Rahul, former India participant Aakash Chopra mentioned that the participant will all the time be within the shadows of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
“I personally like KL Rahul as a player. He will have to score runs. If he keeps scoring runs, he will keep moving forward. His fate is that he will always be in the shadows of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. These are the big guys. I feel Rahul is super talented, super skilled. He will keep playing until he keeps scoring runs. Although the team rates him very high, an atmosphere gets created against him very quickly in Indian cricket,” Chopra mentioned in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
“There are plenty of people who go after him. So he won’t get as long a rope as you would give to anyone else with the same caliber or pedigree. If it’s up to me, I would definitely give it because he has scored a lot of runs and difficult runs,” he added.
India are set to play a complete of 10 Test matches forward of the World Test Championship (WTC) last. After matches in opposition to Bangladesh, the Rohit Sharma-led facet will host New Zealand for a three-match Test sequence earlier than touring to Australia for a sequence of 5 matches.
