No , how can it be better than him leading India A in NZ where he will get used to the conditions and be preprared for Indian test and odi tours in NZ. Here he might have played one match or two matches that too at no 6, Pandey is playing because Pant got hurt. Link to comment

I didn't see Dhawan laughing when he sensed KL breathing down his neck and threatening his spot. Jerk. Edited January 17, 2020 by Cricwala beetle 1 Link to comment

Isn’t Gill opening these days ? Dhawan and Rohit cannot be touched according to you , so where is he going to play in NZ ? Link to comment

The Dark Horse Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Well done Rahul. I still think he shouldn't keep in ODIs, for risk of injury. Edited January 18, 2020 by The Dark Horse Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Unfair on Rahul - one has been a first choice keeper for the teams he played and the other keeps lesser in comparison. Link to comment

kaptaan Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Rahul looks better at the moment. Link to comment
cricketpitch Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 KL is twice the keeper Pant is at the moment. Pant needs to improve a lot if he wants to play in the LOIs ahead of Rahul as the keeper. He needs to work very hard and prove to the TM he deserves to be in the X1 as a keeper as well as a batsman. Rahul is ahead on both counts at the moment and Virat isn't going to change that combination at least in T20Is very soon. KL also is not reinventing a wheel. There have been players who have done this in white ball formats. QDK does it for SA, Gilly did it for Australia and Kalu did it for Sri Lanka, Keeping the wickets and then opening the batting. As long as KL is happy doing that he will be the first choice keeper for the LO formats, unless he loses his batting form badly. Also since this additional ability gives KL more insurance in the playing X1, it is hard to see him giving up that role that easily. We don't need KL opening in ODIs anyways as Shaw, Gill, Rohit, Dhawan et all are available to do that. Laaloo and Unstable Joe 1 1 Link to comment
