KL Rahul’s wicketkeeping brings lot of balance for India: Fielding coach Dilip

The Hindu  

Over the last few years, the slot of wicketkeeper in the Indian team has come with an additional clause - the candidate has to be a solid batter, too. India went into the T20 World Cup in Australia last year with three wicketkeeper-batters in its ranks - Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik and KL Rahul - keeping the game’s ever-evolving nature in mind. And soon after, in December and January, Rahul kept the stumps for six ODIs - three against Bangladesh and three against Sri Lanka - while Ishan Kishan was the preferred choice for the series against New Zealand, in the absence of Rahul, who had taken a break due to personal commitments. Though the team management did not clear the air, the fielding coach T. Dilip heaped praises on Rahul. “As a fielding coach, my responsibility is not only to work on their wicketkeeping skills, but also work on their fielding skills, so that whatever role the team requires according to the combination on that particular day, they are well equipped for that…” With Rohit Sharma missing out on the opening ODI in Mumbai due to family commitments, Hardik Pandya will lead the team.
