KL Rahul: India will soon play a series of three T20 and three ODI matches with Sri Lanka. The team has reached Sri Lanka for this. Let us tell you that first a three-match T20 series will be played. BCCI has already announced the squad for this.

Let us tell you that after a long time, wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has returned to the team. However, he will have to sit on the bench. Actually, this 32-year-old player will not get a chance in the playing eleven. Another young wicketkeeper player will be fielded in his place. Let's know the whole thing in detail.

KL Rahul will not get a chance to play

KL Rahul may have got a chance in the team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, however, there is still a question mark on his place in the final 11. In fact, apart from him, another wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is also included in the team.

Gautam Gambhir, who has been appointed as the new head coach of Team India, believes in giving opportunities to young players. In such a situation, Pant may get preference in the playing eleven instead of KL. Apart from this, Gauti will have the challenge of making a team for the 2027 World Cup. In such a situation, KL Rahul, who has become old now, may hardly get a chance to play.

This is how the record of both the players has been

KL Rahul, who made his debut for Team India against Zimbabwe in 2016, has played 75 ODIs so far. In this, he has scored 2820 runs with an average of 50.35. During this, the right-handed batsman scored 7 centuries and 18 half-centuries.

On the other hand, if we look at Rishabh Pant's record, he made his debut in this format for India in 2018. Since then, he has played 30 matches. In this, he has scored 865 runs at an average of 34.60. During this, Pant scored one century and 5 half-centuries.
