New Delhi. Indian Test team vice-captain KL Rahul has indicated that some tough decisions will be taken in the playing XI for the first Test against South Africa. Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma was made the vice-captain of the Indian Test team, but after his injury, KL Rahul was given this responsibility for the Test series against South Africa in his place.
The Indian team is preparing fiercely for this test series and the eyes of Team India are on creating history by winning the Test series this time. Under Kohli’s captaincy, Team India had lost the Test series by 1-2 on the previous tour. Talking about the first Test match, KL Rahul heaped praise on Team India’s batsmen Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer. Rahul said that it will be a very difficult decision as to who should be given a chance.
Rahul said that Ajinkya Rahane has been a very important part of our Test team and he has played very important innings in his career. In the last 15-18 months, if I think back, his innings in Melbourne was really important and helped us win Test matches. That partnership with Pujara in the second innings at Lord’s in which he scored a half-century was really important. That’s why we won the Test match. That’s why he has been one of the key players in our team’s middle order.
At the same time, Rahul said about Shreyas Iyer that he took full advantage of the opportunity he got. He batted well against New Zealand in the Kanpur Test match and also scored a century. It is very good, while Hanuma Vihari has also done well for us. Now who to keep in the team is a tough decision, but it will be discussed and you will get to know who is in the playing XI.
