#2 KL Rahul

While KL Rahul is not a regular behind the stumps, he is included on the list because he does don the gloves in limited-overs cricket. Rahul has only played as a wicketkeeper once in the format when both Pant and Saha were ruled out of the touring Indians’ match against a County Select XI during their 2021 tour of England.

Despite his poor form, Rahul, India’s vice-captain and the last man to lead the team, is expected to play in the upcoming series against Australia. If the Indian team management looks beyond KS Bharat, Rahul can be a great option.
