Let us tell you that after the era of MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, Team India was unable to find any number 5 batsman who could handle the team after falling five wickets early. Often Yuvraj and Dhoni used to do this but for a long time it was a big debate for Team India. Rishabh Pant also could not prove himself special in ODIs, if one or two innings are left. Shreyas Iyer plays the role of number 4. Suryakumar Yadav is flopping in ODIs and Sanju Samson is not being given a chance. In such a situation, KL Rahul has now solved the problem of Team India by ending this debate to some extent. Ravindra Jadeja is also back, so the pair of both can win many such matches in the coming days.
