In the forthcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, team captain Rohit Sharma has said unequivocally that KL Rahul, who is well again, would be selected automatically ahead of Sarfaraz Khan.
“With KL, we are aware of his skill set,” Rohit said to reporters in Chennai.
Few cricket players have had complete success since the sport’s inception. Everybody has highs and lows.
“We have made it clear to KL that we want him to participate in every game, and that is what we have done. He scored 80 against England and played a fantastic innings in South Africa. It is there for us to see how talented the man is. We must make sure he receives the proper messages if we want him to keep playing well. He can do well in Tests since he can play against pacers and spinners as well.
The return of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant, according to Rohit, has made it simpler for him to select the best starting eleven as captain. India’s middle-order was quite inexperienced against England.
“Some things are clear-cut. We consider an XI’s accomplishments throughout the previous ten to fifteen years while choosing them. You only need to choose what’s in front of you and place it in the block. While many players were hurt during the last game, most of the team was present this time. Selecting the ideal XI to win the Test match becomes easy for you.
Regarding the series
The Indian skipper stated that they are not taking this series lightly and used the World Test Championship (WTC) points table as an illustration.”This isn’t a practice run for Australia,” he said.
Because of the stakes in every game we play, it matters. We need to win every game since the WTC table is still quite open. This test is no different. We must prevail in both the Test and the series,” he declared.
After a six-month break after their emphatic 4-1 series victory over England earlier this year, India is back in the red-ball format. India will play ten Test matches for the next three and a half months, starting on Thursday.
About Jurel and Jaiswal
Young people like Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal received a lot of appreciation from Rohit.
“We don’t have to talk to them all the time. Despite their youth, Jaiswal and Jurel have a lot of skills. Everything they need to play is there.
We need to raise and develop them. It also depends on their opinion when you perform this sport. They want to succeed and are ravenous. Particularly Jaiswal had a strong series, and Jurel demonstrated his abilities under duress. You need a diverse group of players that are also accountable and daring. Everything is mixed for us.
