After the end of the World Cup 2023, the next big challenge for Team India is the South Africa tour. Team India has to go on South Africa tour next month for which the team is going to be announced soon. 3 T20, 3 ODI and 2 Test matches are to be played on this tour. Before the announcement of the team, Rohit Sharma’s name was in the headlines. The topic of discussion is whether Rohit Sharma will return to the T20 team? Will he captain the team? Apart from this, a big question is regarding KL Rahul, whose return is being speculated.
Will KL Rahul return?
KL Rahul has done amazing batting in recent times. He scored 452 runs in the World Cup. Now looking at his performance, he may get a chance to return to the Test team. Let us tell you that KL Rahul was given a chance in the Delhi Test against Australia in February this year, after which he was dropped. The reason for this was his poor performance.
Rahul’s bad test record
So far, KL Rahul has scored 2642 runs in 47 tests at an average of only 33.44. He has definitely scored 7 centuries with his bat but lack of scoring runs consistently has been seen in him. In the last 2 years, Rahul played 7 Tests and his average was only 24.69. He was dropped from the team after such a poor performance but now Rohit Sharma can bring him back in the team.
Whose place will Rahul play?
The question is that if Rahul returns to the Test team, who will be out? Ajinkya Rahane had batted brilliantly in the final of the World Test Championship and now it is believed that he may be dropped from the team. Because Shreyas Iyer can also return to the Test team. Who will go on the South Africa tour and who will sit out? The answer to this will be found soon.
