Centurion, December 26: KL Rahul is keen on keeping wickets in the Test match between India and South Africa from December 26. KL Rahul is going to keep wicket in a test match for the first time. Before the opening match of the series, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that the right-handed batsman is keen to play the role of wicket-keeping.
Ishan Kishan withdrew from this series due to personal reasons and Rishabh Pant is out of the team. Therefore, KL Rahul is ready to play the role of wicketkeeper in the Test team and the opportunity has opened for him to regain his place as a wicketkeeper in the Test team.
Regarding KL Rahul’s wicketkeeping in the Indian team in the Test series, captain Rohit Sharma said, that every cricketer has to go through some change or every cricketer has to be ready for a different role in his career. There are very few cricketers who remain in the same position and play the same role throughout their cricket career. KL Rahul has been working hard on wicket-keeping in Test matches and is very keen to play that role.
In the pre-match press conference, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that KL Rahul provides an option who can give strength to the team by batting better in the middle order at five or six or seven. His experience of playing here is also good. Last time he started the innings and scored a century. But this time he will play in the middle order. I feel that the way he bats in the middle order in ODIs is right and the same performance as in ODIs is expected from the Test matches.
