5 reason why K.L Rahul should always bat in the top three

#1 Not a typical lower order batsman

K.L Rahul is one for the future

In international cricket, the job of a lower-order batsman is generally to go hammer and tongs and play the big muscular strokes. The names of Glenn Maxwell, Shahid Afridi hit the mind when asked about typical lower-order batsmen.

K.L Rahul is way too accomplished a batsman to be deemed as a lower-order pinch hitter. He is more of a classical batsman, who likes to get runs by playing copybook cricket. While playing at the top of the batting order, a batsman needs to be judicious in his choice of strokes.

Rahul developed his game in exactly that manner. The experiment to send Rahul lower down the order might not work as per expectations for Virat Kohli’s men in the long run and he should always be sent in to bat in the top three.
