KL Rahul, who made his place in Team India as an opening batsman, is playing the role of wicketkeeper in the team today. The player’s career was put on hold due to poor form and injury.

Surprisingly, many players’ positions are now under threat after his arrival.
Wicketkeeper KL Rahul made a strong comeback
After losing his place in the playing eleven as an opener, KL Rahul made a comeback as a wicketkeeper batsman. First he established himself in ODIs and now in Test cricket he sent a strong message with a century on the tour of South Africa. In the return match in ODI, KL Rahul played an unmatched innings of 80 runs against Australia. The batsman scored 101 runs on his return to the Test match. KL scored 56 runs in T20 against New Zealand as a wicketkeeper batsman.
How many careers are at risk because of KL?
KL Rahul is fit to play as a wicketkeeper batsman in all three formats of cricket. The careers of four wicket-keeper batsmen are in jeopardy due to his return. The first name in this list is Ishan Kishan who was playing as the main wicketkeeper in the team. Sanju Samson has been in and out of the team and can no longer make it as a wicketkeeper.
Rishabh Pant, who had fully established himself as a wicketkeeper in Test cricket, was forced to sit out of the field after a car accident. KS Bharath has been given an opportunity in this format in his place. Now KL Rahul’s performance against South Africa in the Test has almost put a full stop to the duo’s comeback. As a batsman, KL has dominated both Anubhav Pant and Bharat.
