KL Rahul: The Indian cricket team led by Shubman Gill has gone on a Zimbabwe tour to play a five-match T20I series. Many players of the T20 World Cup were given a chance in this team, including left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube and wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson.

These three players were supposed to reach Zimbabwe directly from West Indies, but due to the storm, flights were affected and these players could not join the team. In such a situation, new players have been included in the team in their place.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's replacement KL Rahul may get a chance

KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants team in the Indian Premier League, was very disappointed after not getting a chance in the T20 World Cup team.

However, now he can get a chance in Team India on the Zimbabwe tour. At present, Harshit Rana, wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma and Gujarat Titans batsman Sai Sudarshan have got a chance in the team as replacements for the first two matches in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal, all-rounder Shivam Dubey and wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson.

If these three players of Team India are unable to make a comeback from West Indies even after the first two matches, then BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar, considering KL Rahul's experience, can give him a chance in the team in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal for the remaining three matches.
