Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson shine in KL Rahul’s absence
Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan was the top performer in the recently concluded ODI series against West Indies. He was the leading run-scorer with 184 runs at an average of 61.33, including three consecutive fifties. Meanwhile, Sanju Samson also played a fine hand in the third ODI. He scored fifty in the match, helping India to reach a match-winning score.
Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson grabbed opportunities in KL Rahul’s absence. However, KL Rahul is likely to walk into the playing XI once he makes a comeback. Ishan Kishan will be his backup option on the team. With the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 just a few months away, KL Rahul’s comeback will boost Team India.
