Fans Hail Captain KL Rahul For Defending Totals In The IPL 2024 – The T20 World Cup 2024 will happen June. Fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival. In the midst of all the excitement, the Indian team has to make a crucial decision: the position of wicketkeeper is still up for grabs. India is on the lookout for an explosive player who can take the reins in the lower or middle order.
The top order is already stacked up. Some of the contenders for the position are Dhruv Jurel, Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Rishabh Pant. It’s worth mentioning that Kishan has not batted in the lower or lower middle order. So, this is definitely a spot which the selectors and the team management will be looking at.
KL Rahul’s role in T20Is differs from his position as a wicketkeeper-batsman in the middle order in ODIs. He has mainly been an opener in T20Is. But ever since the 2022 T20 World Cup, he hasn’t played a single T20I match. He has been kept out of the format because of his strike rate and impact in the format. Although he has been excellent in ODIs, his T20I performances have not quite matched that same level of excellence. As selectors discuss squad compositions, Rahul is also in the scheme of things for the selection in the Indian squad.

There has been a lot of talk among fans about KL Rahul’s role in the ongoing IPL 2024. Many believe that he might have batted in the middle order and also take on the responsibility of wicketkeeping for Lucknow Super Giants. It could have potentially boosted his chances for the upcoming World Cup. But he has batted in the top order in this IPL as well.
Some fans are jokingly commenting, “We all thought KL Rahul was getting ready for the wicketkeeper position for the World Cup, but he’s taking it a step further and aiming for the captaincy role 😅.” Rahul has made a significant impact, leading LSG to victory in 10 out of 11 matches while successfully defending scores of 160 plus in the IPL. The Karnataka man has been brilliant as a captain so far in IPL 2024.
