‘If you can’t keep wickets, don’t play…’ ex-coach said bluntly on Rahul’s injury

New Delhi. Sanjay Bangar, who has been the batting coach of Team India, has said a great thing about KL Rahul. Sanjay says KL Rahul should play in Asia Cup only if he can keep wickets. Because if this does not happen, the balance of the team will be disrupted. Let it be known that KL Rahul has been included in the 17-member team selected for the Asia Cup. He is scheduled to play as a wicketkeeper in this tournament. Apart from him, there is also Ishan Kishan, who can do wicketkeeping. Along with this, wicketkeeper Sanju Samson has also been kept as a reserve player.

While announcing the squad for the Asia Cup, chief selector Ajit Agarkar said that KL Rahul has a minor injury. He barely played in the match against Pakistan on September 2. Agarkar said that Rahul will be fully fit soon and will be able to play in the second match.

On KL Rahul’s injury, Sanjay Bangar said on Star Sports Show, “Team India doesn’t have anyone bowling in their top-5, so that means if you want a six-bowler option in the playing XI, you have to have one in their top-5. A player who can bowl or be a wicket keeper batsman.So, I think if KL Rahul plays the role of a wicket keeper batsman, he should be included in the playing eleven as this will keep the balance of the team.

Why 5 players didn’t give yo-yo test before Asia Cup, whole list leaked, know who is included?

KL Rahul should not be in the team if he is not fit: Bangar
Bangar further said, “If KL Rahul is not fit as a batsman then Ishan Kishan should be played as a wicketkeeper. Anyway, he is a regular wicketkeeper. That is why they have to be given a chance. Whenever Team India plays in ODI format, you should not field a player who is not fully fit and who is suspected to be injured again. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan can be given a chance.

This time the World Cup is ours, India will reach the moon then Rohit Sharma will hoist the tricolor! Good coincidence

KL Rahul was injured during IPL 2023. After this, he underwent surgery in May and after recovering from it, he was completing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy. He has been selected in the Asia Cup team. But his chances of playing in the opening matches are less. He is not practicing wicketkeeping even in the team’s camp.
