KL Rahul will bat at No. 3 on Ranji Trophy return, confirms Karnataka coach

India Today  

KL Rahul will continue to bat at the top of the order in red-ball cricket. The star batter, set to return to the Ranji Trophy for Karnataka’s final round-robin group game against Haryana on Thursday, will bat at No. Speaking on the eve of the game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Goud confirmed Rahul’s batting position while keeping options open based on conditions. The India batter had missed the previous round of the tournament due to injury, even as several of his Test teammates—including Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Ravindra Jadeja—rejoined domestic cricket following BCCI’s strict guidelines. Now, with his return to first-class cricket, Rahul will be eager to make a strong impression in the Ranji Trophy fixture before shifting focus to limited-overs cricket.
