Mumbai, 24/2: In the cricket series going to be held between India and Sri Lanka, with captain Rohit Sharma, a player can start the innings, which few people would have expected. This name is of Priyank Panchal. Priyank Panchal is among the 4 opener batsmen, including Rohit, who have been given a place in the Indian Test team by the selectors this time. The other two openers are Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill. Why could Priyank get a place when both Mayank and Shubman were in the team? Former India coach Lalchand Rajput explained this very beautifully.
Former cricketer Lalchand Rajput, while talking about the playing XI of the first test match against Sri Lanka, said, ‘Mayank Agarwal or Priyank Panchal can open with Rohit Sharma. A big reason to open with Priyank Panchal is that not only is he doing well in domestic cricket, but he also did well for the Indian A team on the South Africa tour.’ Current Zimbabwe coach Said that the Indian team is playing against Sri Lanka (India vs Sri Lanka) at home. Because of this also India has a good opportunity to experiment and the team management will not waste it.
Lalchand Rajput, while talking about the reason for opening Priyank Panchal, spoke big on the role of KL Rahul. He said that KL Rahul may have played as an opener till now, but in future he can be fielded in the middle order. Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara’s exclusion from the team has created a place in the middle order and Rahul can fill it. His arrival will also bring experience in the middle order. That is, if Rahul comes in the middle order, then there can be a chance for another opener.
