Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar said that it would be prudent to designate KL Rahul as the wicketkeeper-batsman for the upcoming Asia Cup, scheduled to commence on August 30 in Pakistan-Sri Lanka.
In an exclusive conversation with Star Sports, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar weighed in on the pivotal role of KL Rahul in Team India’s preparations for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. With an astute assessment of the team’s dynamics, Bangar delved into the critical consideration of KL Rahul’s involvement as a wicketkeeper-batsman and how this strategic decision aligns with India’s quest for balance and performance.
Bangar spoke about KL Rahul’s role in Team India for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, he said “I think keeper batter because no one bowls in the top 5 of team India, so it means if you want 6 bowling options you should have a player in your top 5 who can bowl or he should be a wicket-keeper batsman. So, I feel if KL Rahul plays the role of a wicket-keeper batsman, I believe then only he should be considered in the playing XI because in that way the team’s balance will be maintained.” (ANI)
