Eyes On Pandya, Rahul As India To Name Squads For New Zealand ODIs, Tests

, 7 news, 0 views

KL Rahul’s stupendous form in the limited-overs format makes him a firm favourite to get his place back in the Indian Test team even as selectors fret on all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s fitness before picking the One-Day Internationals and Test squads for the New Zealand tour in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Rahul has been India’s most consistent player in T20 and ODIs but he lost his place in the Test squad after the tour of Australia.

Even skipper Virat Kohli on Friday said that it’s difficult to leave a player like Rahul from any squad, and the Karnataka batsman has better chance than Prithvi Shaw or Shubman Gill who was reserve Test opener during the home series last season.
