He has also taken up the responsibility of wicketkeeping in ODI cricket, which has provided balance to the team. Excellent technique against fast bowlers and comfortable batting against spinners make him special.
The Indian team now has to play three ODIs and five T20 matches against Australia from October 19. KL Rahul is also a part of the Indian team in the ODI series, who is eager to perform brilliantly with the bat once again. Rahul brings the balance on the field that every captain wants.
