There were a lot of speculations regarding the Indian team before the start of Nas series against England. One of the biggest questions was the advantage of guardians in Indian playing XI.
Men in Blue had two options for a particular role – Kl Rahul and Rishabh Pant. They are both immensely talented and capable of switching it to any player XI in the world. However, the place was open to just one of them in the last XI.
India preferred to go with Kl Rahul via Rishabh Pant -as, given her previous performances for the team. Rahul was the first Indian choice guard in the format and treated the baton and gloves quite well.
Social media quickly responded to the preference of India to go with Kl Rahul through a highly rated crisch like Rishabh Pant. Users even claimed that Virat Kohli played a role in rescuing KL Rahul’s place in the Zada team.

Virat Kohli truly saved Kl Rahul! Otherwise we all know @GautamgambhirThe obsession with leftists would lead to KL fell for Rishabh Pant – which has yet to prove its value – just to maintain that left right combination. 🤦♂️ #Virakohli 𓃵 #Klrahul #Indvseng #Indveng pic.twitter.com/yif9fvnjjt
