Once again, Team India and Team Pakistan will square off in the Asia Cup of 2023. On Sunday, September 10, at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, the two teams will square off in the Super Four stage of the competition. Team India earned a major boost prior to the match when ace batter KL Rahul made a successful recovery from an injury.
During the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Rahul suffered a thigh injury and was no longer a candidate for selection. But now that he’s back, India might want to adjust their starting lineup. Speaking on the same, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed his opinion, saying that for the tense match against Pakistan, he would choose KL Rahulabove Ishan Kishan. With the ODI World Cup 2023 rapidly approaching, Pathan said Rahul needed to have as much cricket experience as possible.
“We’re complicating things, along with the fans. I believe that the management is quite clear about the players they want to play. If you ask me, I would go in the direction of KL Rahul, but the team management may have other ideas. Everybody shows up for practise.
If I were Ishan Kishan, I wouldn’t want to miss any practises in order to keep up my form, Irfan Pathan said to Star Sports.
On the other hand, KL Rahul must take action. No matter how much he practises or plays on the field, it is less effective since the World Cup is also approaching, and you want to practise as much as you can, play as many deliveries as you can, and be as prepared as you can be. Undoubtedly, the choice will be intriguing. I’ll accompany Rahul,” he continued.
Ishan Kishan, according to Pathan, is a direct substitute for KL Rahul and won’t be used in place of Shreyas Iyer. Additionally, he discussed the earlier performances of Rahul and Iyer.
It’s a direct replacement, Ishan Kishan. He won’t be a good replacement for Shreyas Iyer on stage. Yes, Shreyas Iyer is returning from injury, but he has already scored a lot of runs before to that. KL Rahul scored numerous runs prior to injury as well, according to Pathan.
