There were quite a few speculations regarding India's team before the start of the ODI series against England. One of the biggest questions was the preference of the wicketkeeper in India's Playing XI.
The Men in Blue had two options for the particular role - KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Both of them are immensely talented and capable of making it to any Playing XI in the world. However, the spot was open for just one of them to be in the final XI.
India preferred to go with KL Rahul over Rishabh Pant given his previous ODI performances for the team. Rahul has been India's first-choice keeper in the format and has done quite well with both the bat and the gloves.
The social media was quick to react to India's preference to go with KL Rahul over a highly rated cricketer like Rishabh Pant. The users even claimed that Virat Kohli played a role in saving KL Rahul's place in the ODI team.

Virat Kohli genuinely saved KL Rahul! Otherwise, we all know @GautamGambhir's obsession with left-handers would have led to KL being dropped for Rishabh Pant - who has yet to prove his worth - just to maintain that left-right combo. ?♂️ #ViratKohli? #KLRahul #INDvsENG #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/YIf9FVnJJT
