CHENNAI: The national selectors are spoilt for choice to fill the wicketkeeper-batter’s spot in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in West Indies. And one of the top candidates is KL Rahul, who roared back into reckoning with a match-winning knock of 82 (off 53 balls) against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL on Friday.
The Lucknow Super Giants captain, who recovered from an injury just ahead of this IPL season, was at his fluent best, striking a slew of elegant shots at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
