Dhaka: Where the entire batting unit of Team India was struggling in the ongoing ODI series against Bangladesh, KL Rahul top-scored with 73 runs to take the team to a score of 186. If Rahul had gotten support from the other end, India might have reached beyond 200 as well. However, this could not happen and Team India had to face defeat by 1 wicket. In the absence of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul took over the responsibility of wicket-keeping along with batting at number 5 in this match.
Now the former captain of Team India, Sunil Gavaskar, while expressing happiness with this performance of KL Rahul, has called Rahul an all-rounder. Not only this, but Little Master has also conveyed the reason for this. Gavaskar said, 'Rahul is batting at number 5 for India, with Dhawan and Rohit Sharma opening the innings most of the time and Virat Kohli playing at number 3. He has been batting at number 5 for some time now. Maybe he is trying to strengthen this position. This gives India the option of an additional all-rounder.'
He further said, 'If you have someone as a middle-order option, who can do wicket-keeping, then you can consider taking another bowler. I call him an all-rounder because he can keep wickets, open the innings, and bat at No.5. As far as I feel KL Rahul is an all-rounder and with his kind of experience and the kind of shots he has, he is the kind of finisher you want at No.5 or 6.'
