Opener Mayank Agarwal’s struggle to regain his place in the Indian Test XI will begin on Tuesday with a three-day match against County XI where his best friend KL Rahul took the wicket in the absence of regular wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Will follow the front.

This match has the status of a first-class match, which is the first time in many years with the Indian team. Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni believed that not all players get a chance to practice because of an ‘official match’. The team management, however, wanted to play first-class matches to regain momentum before the start of the Test series next month.

who will be the wicketkeeper

Pant is recovering from Kovid, so Rahul will play the role of wicketkeeper in this practice match. However, the eyes of the team management will be on Mayank as he is likely to pair up with Rohit Sharma in the first Test after the injured Shubman Gill is ruled out of the series.

Rahul’s use in the middle order?

Mayank has not been in good shape since the tour of Australia. He was out of the last 11 after Rohit’s arrival in Australia. Rahul has also scored most of his 2000 runs in Test career while opening the innings. It is understood that if one of the experienced batsmen (Ajinkya Rahane) fails to find the rhythm, then Rahul can be used as a middle-order batsman.

Keep an eye on the bowlers too

The County XI team consists mostly of young players, with only James Bracey being part of the current England international team. India can try both Rahul and Mayank in the second innings opening batting though. However, as the match is of three days, the chances of second innings are not high. In the bowling department, Mohammad Siraj would like to test himself and Jasprit Bumrah would like to pick up a few wickets to get the momentum.
