KL Rahul ranks cricketing stars, picks Virat Kohli over Rohit Sharma

Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul recently collaborated with popular content creator Snax Gaming for an engaging and insightful ranking session. In this unique collaboration, Rahul was asked to rank some of the sport's biggest names in both batting and bowling categories.

The session, named "Kiraak," saw Rahul ranking these players without knowing all the names in advance, relying on his instincts and knowledge of the game. In the batting category, the 32-year-old placed Australian opener Travis Head in fifth spot, acknowledging that he anticipated more renowned names to follow.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma secured the second spot, while Pakistan's Babar Azam and India's T20 star Suryakumar Yadav were ranked fourth and third, respectively. Unsurprisingly, Rahul reserved the top spot for his teammate and cricket icon Virat Kohli.

Afghanistan's spin wizard Rashid Khan secured the fourth spot, with India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah taking third. Pakistan's young star Naseem Shah rounded out the list at fifth.

Meanwhile, Rahul is currently preparing for upcoming cricket assignments, including the Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19. The batter was recently playing in the Duleep Trophy for the India A team and scored a total of 94 runs in two innings, including a sublime fifty in the second innings.
