Will KL Rahul as Wicketkeeper Hurt Indian Cricket Team in Long Run? (5.75 Ounces S-2, Ep.5)

Indian cricket team is set to play KL Rahul as wicketkeeper for ODIs and T20Is in place of specialist Rishabh Pant. The 5.75 Ounces team tries to understand the logic and the pitfall of taking such a course by the team management.

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.
