Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri may bring back KL Rahul to the opening roles after the injury of Shubman Gill. Rahul has been warming the benches in the test squad for a while now.

Back in 2019, owing to his poor form, KL Rahul was dropped from India’s Test squad and Rohit Sharma, who warmed the benches a lot, got his chance to perform.

Virat Kohli still had some faith in the cricketer and backed him in the limited-overs cricket, where he performed outstandingly. Rahul in no time became India’s saviour and took up every possible role apart from bowing.

He got shuffled from opening to number 4 and 5 while a couple of times he kept the wickets for his team.

His recent white-ball form has got his place back in the squad, however, his place in the playing11 is still doubtful.

An injury to Shubman Gill could be a blessing in disguise for Rahul who can be pushed up to open with Rohit Sharma in upcoming India vs England five-match test series.
