The Test match that KL Rahul played was back in January in the IND vs ENG Test series. He left the squad following an injury, but now KL Rahul is ready and roaring for a comeback. Despite being a regular in the ODI setup, KL Rahul is now preparing for the red ball cricket. Ahead of the IND vs BAN Test series and the Duleep Trophy, the ace batter was spotted toiling hard at the nets.
The India vs England Test series was the one to watch for. India lost out on KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer with injuries. And on came Dhruv Jurel and a young Sarfaraz Khan to bolster the middle order. But now, KL Rahul is back in the Indian setup after his injury and ready to take his place back in the Test team.
KL Rahul prepares for Test comeback
KL Rahul will be ready to take back the number 5 position to bolster the middle order. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open proceedings with Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli occupying 3rd and 4th spot. Down the middle order, KL Rahul is expected to part the destructive Rishabh Pant.
This will be a huge benefit for the India Cricket Team. Not only will Rahul play as the role of the anchor, Pant will get the chance to play as an enforcer.
Furthermore, the inclusion of KL Rahul brings in a much needed stability in the squad. Ahead of the IND vs BAN Tests, KL Rahul will also participate in the Duleep Trophy which will serve as a preparatory tournament before Team India take the field.
