KL Rahul’s injury meant that India was one opener short in their rescheduled Test match against England, but they had enough cover in Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. However, the Indian captain getting positive for Covid-19 put India in a tricky situation and they were forced to fly out Mayank Agarwal as a backup for the Test match.

KL Rahul is crucial to India’s plans in the upcoming months, as he has emerged as the backbone of the Indian team across the formats. Rahul, partnering with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order has brought back stability in the Indian line-up, soaking up the new ball before counterattacking the opposition side.
With two World Cups lined up in back-to-back in the next 15 months, India will hope that Rahul gets back to full fitness and gets some game time ahead of the tournaments.
