"If you look just at his one-day numbers in the middle order, they are absolutely first-class" - Wasim Jaffer on KL Rahul

Former Indian batter Wasim Jaffer opined that KL Rahul established himself as the first-choice wicket-keeper batter in the Indian ODI playing XI in the absence of Rishabh Pant. He supported his views by highlighting Rahul's stellar record while batting in the middle-order in the ODI format.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo about Rahul's performances in ODI cricket, Jaffer said:

"If KL Rahul continues to keep wickets, it is difficult to even touch him. Rishabh Pant is the one who can challenge him for that spot once he is fit."

"But at the moment it is difficult to think beyond Rahul at No. 5. Other formats often get dragged in the conversation, but if you look just at his one-day numbers in the middle order, they are absolutely first-class."
