KL Rahul Named Vice-Captain For ODI Series vs Bangladesh

KL Rahul who will maintain wickets in Pant’s absence, as declared by skipper Rohit Sharma at the toss, as the board has decided not to replace him, is also named as the vice-captain for the current series.

KL Rahul was also named as skipper of the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma earlier in the year as team India toured Zimbabwe.

Rahul has been assigned to bat at No. 5, as he has been when all of the key players have returned to the squad. Aside from the significant alteration in the batting order, the Men in Blue chose four all-rounders in Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, and Deepak Chahar.

Rishabh Pant’s Struggle Continues

Pant, a Test certainty for India, hasn’t been in great form in white-ball cricket in recent months, whether in T20Is or ODIs. Pant has looked like a shell of himself in colored apparel since his maiden ODI century against England in July. Pant scored 15 and 10 in the two games he batted against New Zealand in the current series.
