NEW DELHI: Former cricketer Kris Srikkanth has shown support for KL Rahul to retain the No.5 spot in India's batting order for the first Test against Bangladesh. The match begins on September 19 in Chennai. Srikkanth prefers Rahul over Sarfaraz Khan, despite Sarfaraz's strong performances earlier this year.
Rahul missed most of the England Test series due to injury, which allowed Sarfaraz to step in and score 200 runs at an average of 50. However, Srikkanth expressed his preference for Rahul on his YouTube channel. He said, "Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens, at times, in Test cricket. You would have been playing well, but when a big player returns, you will have to lose your place."
