KL Rahul: Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul was recently dropped from the T20 team. Earlier, KL Rahul was not given a place in Team India by captain Rohit Sharma even during the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, after being dropped continuously and poor performance in the ODI team on the Sri Lankan tour, KL Rahul's career was considered to be over, but it is not so.

KL Rahul can be made captain for Bangladesh Test series

The Indian cricket team has to play a two-Test series from September 19 and after that a three-match T20 series. Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir can rest captain Rohit Sharma against a weak team like Bangladesh and give a chance to many young players in Team India. In such a situation, KL Rahul, apart from being the most senior player in Team India, also has the experience of captaining the Indian Premier League and the Indian cricket team. If players like Rohit-Virat and Bumrah take rest, then KL Rahul can be given the role of captain in the Test series against Bangladesh.

Ishan Kishan, who is called the second MS Dhoni, may return

Ishan Kishan, who was dropped from the Indian cricket team due to indiscipline, may return to Team India. His fans call Ishan Kishan the second Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ishan recently played a brilliant century against Madhya Pradesh in the Buchi Babu tournament. In such a situation, if Ishan Kishan continues to perform like this in the Duleep Trophy, then BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar can give Ishan Kishan a place in the Indian cricket team as a wicketkeeper batsman in the two-Test series against Bangladesh. Earlier, Ishan Kishan played his last Test match for the Indian team against the West Indies in July last year. In such a situation, his return will be after a year.

Team India could be like this in the India vs Bangladesh Test series

KL Rahul (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.
