Everybody knows their role and responsibility: KL Rahul ahead of India's Test series against Bangladesh
There has been a lot brewing on the horizon after BCCI opted to make Cheteshwar Pujara the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team for the Bangladesh Test series.
India will be a part of a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, the first of which starts on 14th December at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, where the Men in Blue thumped the hosts in the final ODI.
Amidst all the injuries to key personnel, the man who'll be at the helm for Team India for the 2 Tests in Bangladesh, KL Rahul, opened up on the topic and made it clear that a shuffle in personnel doesn’t change anything for the team. According to Rahul, every individual has been granted a role in the side and that must be carried forward irrespective of the responsibilities shouldered on the players.
In the pre-match conference on Monday, KL Rahul said, “I at least don't know what the criteria are, whoever is picked you give yourself a pat on your back. Even for me, when I was named the vice-captain, you get happy, you have the responsibility of the team. It really doesn't change much, everybody knows their role and responsibility and how much the team appreciates their contribution. Rishabh and Puji both have been brilliant for us, and have done the job so many times. We don't really think that much, he tries to take responsibility. We carry on as a team.”
India will need all hands on deck as they will have an eye on the WTC final and the result of this series will play an imperative role in shaping the fortunes of the same.
