KL Rahul was recently snubbed as the vice-captain of the Indian team after a series of poor shows in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. The right-handed batsman could manage just 38 runs across 3 innings and got out for cheap scores despite India’s victory in both Tests.

KL Rahul takes a prominent spot in the Indian team. He is an opener and an occasional wicketkeeper for India. He plays as an opener in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. Against Bangladesh in December 2022, he kept the stumps in the ODI games. However, as a wicketkeeper-batsman, he has been not impressive at all. Here we talk about 5 better wicketkeepers than KL Rahul who deserve a place in Indian Cricket Team.

Ishan Kishan is the first player on this list. Although Kishan gets many opportunities in the Indian team, he is not a regular member of the squad. Whenever KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are both absent, Kishan takes a spot in the squad and the playing XI.

He is an opening batsman like Rahul. Two months ago in December 2022, the left-handed batsman shattered a double century in an ODI against Bangladesh. In 13 ODIs, the 24-year-old has smacked 507 runs at an average of 46.0; hitting 1 ton, 1 double ton, and 3 half-centuries. In 27 T20Is, Kishan has mustered 653 runs at an average of 25.12 with 4 half-centuries.
