After his return to the Delhi Capitals side, KL Rahul mentioned his reason for returning to the side, as he prioritizes cricket over any family pleasure.
Nothing seems to have mattered more to KL Rahul than donning the whites and making it out strongly in England. He made that his goal, and the results are in front of us all, as Rahul returns with a stunning hundred in the second innings of the first test.
Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have had family members touring with them apart from other Indian cricketers since Ravi Shastri took over as the Indian Head Coach. However, with Gautam Gambhir's arrival, BCCI has implemented strict travel policies for India's support staff, players, and their family members.
KL Rahul has a key role in the Indian Test lineup
Ever since the retirement announced by ex-India Test skipper Rohit Sharma, India have already been guessing for a batsman to step in as the new opener in the red-ball side. KL Rahul grabbed this as a major opportunity, and he has emerged as the top-choice man in the key role.
Keeping aside the big hundred he got in the second innings at Leeds, Rahul showed full intent as he landed early in England to play practice matches ahead. Scoring may count in the game, but intent is what matters the most, and Rahul is the epitome of pure intent in India's test side.
In Bumrah's absence, Mohammed Siraj might be seen heading the Indian bowling attack; however, India will have to consider options in Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep to be brought into the test side. This might be a blow to the Indian lineup, already having lost the first test.
Rahul and Jaiswal to open; Karun Nair best at no. 3
The former cricketer showed faith in Karun Nair and suggested promoting him to no. 3, a position he usually scores most of his runs in red-ball cricket. This also indirectly suggests either a drop-down or an exit for youngster Sai Sudharsan, who failed to have a show during the opening test.
