New Delhi, Apr 29: K L Rahul is best placed to bat at number four and keep wickets for India in next year’s T20 World Cup, believes Delhi Capitals mentor Kevin Pietersen.With his intent in the shortest format being questioned in the past, Rahul has tweaked his approach to be the leading run-getter for Delhi Capitals this season.
The competition for the wicket-keeper-batter’s slot in the national team is stiff with Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel and Ishan Kishan being the other options for the selectors.
Rahul has not been a part of India’s T20 setup since the 2022 World Cup but Pietersen reckons not only has he done enough to warrant a comeback, he is best suited for the wicket-keeper-batter’s role.
