Farokh Engineer Supports KL Rahul as India's Wicketkeeper

Former Indian wicket keeper Farokh Engineer praised KL Rahul’s role behind the stumps for his national side, but expressed reservations about his suitability as the primary wicketkeeper in Test matches, advocating for the inclusion of a specialist like KS Bharat instead. Engineer acknowledged Rahul’s prowess with the bat, describing him as 'worth his weight in platinum' for his dual role as a wicketkeeper-batsman. Rahul's switch from a part-time wicketkeeper to a more regular wicket-keeper has become a vital asset for the current Indian side, especially in white-ball cricket games. Rahul’s role behind the stumps has sparked speculation regarding him turning into the top choice as keeper for his national side, although he is currently nursing a quadriceps injury. Farokh Engineer also commented on the potential role of Rishabh Pant as a specialist batter, highlighting his confidence at the crease.
