"If An In-Form Player Sits Out...": Ex-India Star Takes Firm Stance On KL Rahul vs Ishan Kishan Debate

Former India batter Mohammed Kaif is happy with the healthy competition for places in the team heading into next month's World Cup on home soil.

The Rohit Sharma-led side is yet to finalise its middle-order, with the likes of KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Ishan Kishan fighting for a place in the playing XI. While Kishan has been in fine form with the bat in 2023, Rahul and Iyer have recovered from their respective injuries.

KL Rahul And Ishan Kishan In Same XI At World Cup? India Great Explores Possibility

Former India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth has explored the possibility of playing both KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan in the same XI for the World Cup. Kishan has pushed his case for selection after playing a valiant knock against Pakistan in the Asia Cup match last week.

Fans and experts, however, have been divided over the debate on whether Ishan has pipped Rahul in the XI for the marquee event on home soil.

The Indian cricket team squad for Cricket World Cup 2023 was announced on Tuesday and it did not include many surprises. Shreyas Iyer was added to the squad as a specialist batter while KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were included as the wicket-keeping batter options. However, the inclusion of these three batters mean that the fight over the No. 4 and No. 5 slot is still well and truly alive. Kishan was impressive at the No. 5 slot against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 match while Shreyas failed to score big at No. 4.
