KL Rahul remains India’s first choice but has been injured since midway through the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. Reports claim that Rahul may return in time for the Asia Cup later this month. With time running out, India need to slot Rahul in and get out the keeping abilities in him. Meanwhile, another main option for India is Ishan Kishan, who had a superb ODI series on the tour of West Indies recently.
