MUMBAI: His recent failures in Test cricket notwithstanding, the upcoming ODI series against Australia offers KL Rahul a lifeline to save his struggling career in one of the most important seasons for Indian cricket.
The absence of Shreyas Iyer (for this series) and Rishabh Pant (for the next six months) and a poor start to the Test career of KS Bharat are all factors which seem to have conspired to hand Rahul a golden chance to redeem himself and seal his spot as a wicket-keeper batsman in Team India for the World Test Championship Final in Oval in June and the ODI WC in India later this year.
