KL Rahul to Bat at Number 3 in IPL 2024 for LSG; Check All Details Here

KL Rahul is expected to bat at number 3 for Lucknow Super Giants to give his chances of playing the T20 World Cup a boost.

KL Rahul is set to take on a new role for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. After undergoing a medical examination trip to London, Rahul is back in India and gearing up for his comeback with LSG. His return follows an injury sustained in his right quadriceps during the first England Test in Hyderabad, which forced him to sit out the remaining four games. However, with the 17th season of IPL on the horizon, the LSG captain is determined to make a strong comeback after his truncated season in 2023.

Recent reports suggest that KL Rahul will be positioned at number 3 in the batting order for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. This decision likely stems from discussions between the talented wicketkeeper-batsman and the LSG management. The team already boasts powerful openers like Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock, capable of setting the pace of the game within the first six overs.

Additionally, Rahul’s shift to number 3 could serve as a strategic move to enhance his chances of securing a spot in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20I World Cup. With players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma likely to occupy the opening slots for India, Rahul recognizes the importance of adapting to a middle-order role to bolster his World Cup aspirations.

Like senior teammates Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Rahul aims to reclaim his form in T20 cricket, especially after India’s setback in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final. While Rohit and Kohli have made successful comebacks, Rahul is yet to fully regain his momentum. However, his determination to excel is evident as he strives to secure his position in the World Cup squad.

In the midst of his comeback journey, Rahul faces competition from fellow middle-order contenders like Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson. His selection in the Playing XI could hinge on whether he is considered solely as a batter or as a wicketkeeper-batsman. While challenging, the latter role could offer Rahul greater opportunities, especially with the uncertainty surrounding India’s designated wicketkeeper-batsman since Rishabh Pant’s absence.
