India has avoided losing back-to-back series defeats to South Africa. Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have ensured the India vs South Africa 3rd ODI goes the home side’s way with incredible performances in Vishakhapatnam.
KL Rahul did a fine job as interim captain in Shubman Gill’s absence, with the bat, behind the stumps, and with the captaincy cap on. But some issues persisted. It may not seem right to criticise him moments after India won the ODI series, but it’ll be a disservice if one doesn’t point out the mistakes.
Playing around with KL Rahul’s position
Let’s start from the start. In Ranchi, it made no sense to demote Rahul to six and play Washington Sundar at five. The latter was promoted as a like-for-like replacement for Axar Patel, who was either rested or dropped for the series. On paper, the decision seems correct.
But one has to remember that Axar was promoted to the role due to his spin prowess. Washington just doesn’t have the same skills. At this moment, he’s a better player for pace. This also meant that Rahul, who averages 59.34 at five, was played one position lower.
In Raipur, their positions were switched. Make of that what you will.
