The India vs England Test series is set to start on the 25^th of January at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The spectators are already excited to see both these top international teams battle it out on the big stage in these five matches. This will be a series to watch, where both sides will have something to prove. There will be a lot of world-class players playing in this series, which has a really rich history. We hope that we get to see some great matches featuring both these sides which we have witnessed in the past.

The main headache for the Indian side is who will they choose as their wicket-keeping option since there are three players in the mix already. There is no doubt it is a tough decision to pick talented players like KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel, who cannot be sidelined.

However, the man who has been doing the role for some time has been KL Rahul. Rahul is one of the best batters in the Indian batting lineup known for his gifted technique and timing. Rahul has played almost 50 Test matches and has been in great form, but there is still talk about him being a full-time keeper in the team.

Rahul is not behind the wickets

Rahul is still a capable wicketkeeper who is quite safe behind the stumps and this is also a great addition to his game to go with his great batting. However, India Head Coach Rahul Dravid has confirmed that the star batter will be playing as a specialist batter and is not going to keep wickets in the upcoming series. The fans have given a lot of mixed responses regarding this topic where some think he should continue to keep and some are saying he should replaced in those duties. It will be interesting to see who will take up the duties in the series in place of Rahul.

There is still some talent in that squad who have shown a lot of potential in the domestic circuit to take the responsibilities of a keeper. KS Bharat has been in incredible form and has been giving great performances in the First-class matches against the England Lions and will definitely be considered for the role. On the other hand, Dhruv Jurel has also shown his talent in the IPL and will be looking forward to the opportunity to play against this English side. The decision is tough, but it is still good to see great options for this important role.
