Predicted Playing XI of Asia XI to face World XI in T20I series
Watching some of the biggest stars share the dressing room with each other will be a treat for all fans.
5. KL Rahul
In the limited-overs leg of the tour of New Zealand, KL Rahul showed us all what he is capable of. He is in fabulous touch with the willow and will be one of the biggest attractions of this game. He’s had to bat at various batting positions of late and his position in this eleven isn’t certain either.
Opening the innings is the best for him in T20I cricket. Keeping that in mind, he might play one game and Shikhar Dhawan might play in the other. And then, if Virat Kohli opts out, KL Rahul might get a go at number three. If not both these cases, he will have to take up the role of a finisher and bat at five.
With the versatility that he possesses, batting at any of these positions shouldn’t be a huge challenge for him. For the starters, he is expected to keep wickets as well. But that might change if Virat makes himself unavailable and Rishabh Pant gets a chance or if Liton Das dons the gloves.
