This will be an exciting challenge for KL Rahul

Wicketkeeping in Test format is a very exciting challenge, but this will be a good opportunity for KL Rahul to prove himself in this also. Ishan Kishan is not a part of our team but despite this we have good options in the form of wicketkeeper. KL Rahul has performed very well as a wicketkeeper in the 50 over format, hence similar performance can be expected from him in the Test also.
Rahul worked very hard in the last 5 to 6 months
In his statement, Rahul Dravid further said about KL Rahul that he has worked hard as a wicketkeeper in the last 5 to 6 months, but in South Africa, the ball comes with speed after hitting the pitch, which makes KL Rahul’s job a little easier. Will be done. Whereas the ball does not spin much on the pitch, it is very good to have KL Rahul with the team because along with playing the role of wicketkeeper, he can also bat well. It became clear from the statement of head coach Rahul Dravid that KS Bharat, the second wicketkeeper included in the team, will not get a chance to play in the first test match.
