The BCCI selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar is likely to announce the Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2023 on Monday. Also, the starting squad for the ODI World Cup 2023 may also be announced. Star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been out for a long time due to injury. He is likely to be out of the squad for several more months. In such a situation, the question of wicket keeper position for the next two major tournaments will be before the selection committee. KL Rahul is expected to make a comeback after about four months. Before getting injured, he has held the responsibility of wicketkeeping. Apart from Rahul, there is also youngster Kishan Kishan in the race for chief wicketkeeper. Sanju Samson can be included as a backup wicketkeeper.
Before the announcement of the Indian team, former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has given his opinion about Rahul and Kishan. He clearly said that Kishan should be the Indian wicketkeeper. After Pant’s car accident in December last year, India tried Kishan, Rahul and Samson as wicketkeepers in the limited-overs format. Kishan, who bats left-handed, has been part of the ODI setup continuously since February 2023. He has so far scored 694 runs in 17 ODIs at an average of 46.26. During this time he scored one double century and six half-centuries. He scored three consecutive half-centuries in the three-match ODI series against West Indies.
Sourav Ganguly’s prediction, any of these 5 teams will win the World Cup 2023 title
At the same time, in the absence of Rahul Pant, he has been the main wicket-keeper of the Indian team. He scored 321 runs at an average of 45.83 in nine innings between December 2022 and March 2023 as a wicket-keeper batsman. He scored three fifties. He suffered a hamstring injury in IPL 2023, which ruled him out of the West Indies tour. Former captain Ganguly recently said in an event that Pant is the best wicketkeeper in the country but you Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (Depending on their fitness). These two Rohit Sharma (Captain) and Rahul Dravid (Head Coach). I like Ishan Kishan because he starts for any team. I am sure Dravid will keep him in his plans.
