While Rahul seems first-choice keeper, having Pant on bench leaves India with selection headache

- GOMESH S @ Chennai

"THAT'S the way cricket is meant to be played. I know a lot of people talk about it, but that's the way we've got to play the game and that's the way cricket should be played." That is what India head coach Gautam Gambhir had to say when asked about the team management's fixation on having a left-right combination in the middle at any point in time.

India had just beaten England 3-0 in the ODI series and were on a high, but there were enough questions to be asked about some of the decisions made by Gambhir and his staff. One among them, and perhaps the most important one was his push to have a left-right combination in the middle.

Among other things, it has also led to a discussion on who should don the gloves for India. KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant?
