Robin Uthappa side Shubman Gill, KL selects Rahul as the icon of India
In a recent appearance for the Kimappa show, Indian star Robin Uthappa mentioned KL Rahul as the player he was the most. He has dared to make a different step from choosing Shubman Gill, which has been a clear option in recent times.
Uthappa praised him extensively, saying, “I like Rahul, especially in this series, as far as Senior Pro is concerned.”
“They have really rubbed the boys from all sides.
“We can see a sense of responsibility to ensure that everyone lives together,” he further said.
Uthappa also praised Mohammad Sirj and said that he was joining KL Rahul and the team’s efforts.
KL Rahul put his side as a leader in England
In the India vs England series, no one showed much confidence in the Indian team, as it included young players as a newly declared skipper and a team, including large -scale youth, especially after the retirement of two of their veterans, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
There could not be a shortage of talent in India, but he lacked experience, which was clear during the loss of their first match in Headingly. However, KL Rahul was one of the most experienced cricketers among the team members, and he felt it in every way.
As a batsman, he redefined the standards and scored 500+ runs with several important matches; However, his further important role came in the field when he, despite having no leadership role, was seen despite being engaged in continuous conversation and large -scale support for his players.
Rahul’s creation nature, even in hot moments, makes it one of the most ideal characters on the field.

Discussion of retirement of Virat-Rohit continues for ODI
Indian captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are surrounded by the uncertainty of retirement calls ahead of Australia. Virat and Rohit retired from both tests and are currently part of the ODI format.
However, with the two giants being around 40 around the time of the upcoming World Cup in 2027, and India is looking to exclude plans for the Marki tournament from now, it is not possible to include both in recent matches.
It should be accepted that the two batsmen are surprisingly in the 50 -over format, and for Kohli, commitment and fitness standards cannot be questioned., However, for the Indian captain, fitness is a matter of great concern as age or batting.,
