This is Rahul’s first appearance in the Indian team. He has been playing brilliantly as a batsman and will be looking to repeat this in his captaincy. Former captain Virat Kohli has been ruled out of the ODI series, but his concerns were allayed when he later announced that he would be playing. Kohli can be seen as a batsman in the new team. Years later, he’s just about to play as a teammate.
