KL Rahul Expected to Open in Border-Gavaskar Trophy Amidst Uncertainty Over Rohit Sharma

KL Rahul, who was previously excluded from the series against New Zealand due to subpar performance, is expected to be the opening batsman in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This decision comes amidst doubts about Rohit Sharma’s availability for the series. Despite his recent challenges, Rahul’s adaptability and familiarity with playing in international conditions are considered valuable for the Indian team as they face the demanding pitches in Australia. Should he regain his form and offer consistent starts, Rahul’s presence could be instrumental in bolstering India’s middle order and enhancing the team’s overall performance in the series.
