KL Rahul's keeping has given India added options

Talk about adapting to the situation and KL Rahul is the Indian team's go-to guy. The Indian management has asked him to play at various positions, as an opener, as a finisher, bat as a middle-order batsman, top-order batsman, and Rahul has aced almost everything without a fuss. He is also India's current wicketkeeper, how's that for being adaptive?

The Mangalore lad brings in the balance the team requires and allows India to play an extra batsman or a bowler. Not to forget he is an outstanding fielder also. Virat Kohli mentions " It's just that he's come into that slot and has done well. We'll have to persist with that a little bit and see where that takes us and not necessarily be confused about the other options that we have. I think a lack of clarity in terms of positions in the past has really hurt us."

The Karnataka batsman has been in scintillating form this season and can change the course a match in a short span of time. It will be interesting to see whether the Indian management continues with him as a keeper or opt for Rishabh Pant.
