KL Rahul, the Indian cricketer impressed one and all with his impeccable performance as ‘keeper-batsman’ in the second ODI match in Rajkot. His brilliance made him earn the ‘Man of the Match’ trophy that was well-deserved by him.

From being asked to bat at number 5 to open the innings for India, and then in the middle order to being asked to play the role of a keeper, KL Rahul did everything and emerged victorious in all of them to prove his worth in the Indian squad.
