KL Rahul has been one of the main backups for captaincy in the last 4 years. In late 2019, the Indian cricketer relinquished captaincy and became a good contender for it. Over the years, Rahul has led India in all three formats. It is believed that under the leadership of Rahul, players tend to do well. It might be a good factor in Rahul’s support for captaincy. A wicketkeeper is also said to be the second captain of a team.
Rahul with his wicketkeeping skills and batting can be a regular in the side. Since the Asia Cup 2023, Rahul has been in good form in ODIs as well. Rahul just smashed the fastest World Cup ton by an Indian batter against the Netherlands in Bengaluru. In many other matches, Rahul played a crucial role in India’s wins. With the gloves, Rahul was brilliant. In the absence of Hardik, Rahul got the vice-captaincy of India in the World Cup 2023.
