Sanjay Manjrekar was qucik to respond to the fellow twitter fan. Manjrekar shared his thoughts and said that KL Rahul is currently the right choice for the 5th spot in the One Day Internationals for team India.  Manjrekar wrote back “For the moment he is the right fit. But we must keep looking for a Raina and Yuvi kind of batsman when Rahul eventually moves to the top.”
