Kishan Wicket-Keeps, Rahul Shifts Down Order!
13 Jun
Summary
- Ishan Kishan may take over wicket-keeping duties from KL Rahul.
- Virat Kohli is absent due to a hamstring injury.
- Kishan could bat at number 3, while Rahul moves down the order.
India is poised for potential lineup changes in their upcoming 3-match ODI series against Afghanistan, commencing tomorrow in Dharamshala. Ishan Kishan has been observed practicing wicket-keeping drills, suggesting he might take on the gloves, a role usually filled by KL Rahul. This strategic adjustment is partly due to Virat Kohli's absence from the series, as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Furthermore, the vacant number 3 batting position presents an opportunity for experimentation. Reports indicate a strong possibility of Ishan Kishan batting at number 3, with KL Rahul being shifted down the batting order. Bowling coach Morne Morkel confirmed that Rahul, Kishan, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are contenders for the number 3 spot, emphasizing the team's intent to try different players in various roles during this series as preparation for upcoming tours.
