It's A Tough Call; They Have Won Us A Lot Of Games, Says Rohit On Rahul-Pant Toss-up
ODI World Cup: Ahead of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka starting on Friday, India skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that choosing between K.L. Rahul and Rishabh Pant for the wicketkeeper’s slot will be a tough call, citing that the duo have won a lot of matches for the country in the past.
Rahul has been the side’s primary wicketkeeper-batter in ODIs since last year’s Asia Cup, post a quadriceps injury layoff. In his first international innings on return to the team, Rahul struck an unbeaten century, while sharing an unbroken 233-run stand with Virat Kohli in the Super Four clash against Pakistan.
In the ODI World Cup, Rahul amassed 452 runs with two half-centuries and a century, as well as took 16 catches and effected a stumping. He won the fielder of the match laurel twice. In India's previous 50-overs assignment in South Africa last year, Rahul played dual roles as well as captained the team to a series win.
