Will KL Rahul as Wicketkeeper Hurt Indian Cricket Team in Long Run? (5.75 Ounces S-2, Ep.5)
Indian cricket team beat Australia quite comprehensively in the three-match ODI series powered by a superb century from Rohit Sharma on January 19. While Virat Kohli's experiment of playing himself at No. 4 backfired, his plan of including KL Rahul as the wicketkeeper in place of Rishabh Pant, a specialist, worked out with the Karnataka batsman doing a decent job behind the stumps and featuring amongst the runs as well. In this episode, Newsclick's 5.75 Ounces panel of experts deliberate whether the plan of sticking to a stopgap 'keeper will work out in the long run for the Indian side, which seems focused on the immediate future -- World T20 this year in Australia -- and nothing beyond.
