KL Rahul has always been confident about keeping wickets in Tests and the upcoming series against South Africa will give India’s new gloveman an opportunity to do something different, head coach Rahul Dravid said on Sunday.

With KS Bharat having been found technically inept in terms of batting abilities in traditional format, Indian team management’s other option was Ishan Kishan, who decided to take a ‘mental health’ break. In that sense, Rahul wasn’t just the best choice amongst the troika, but he was also the only viable option in a pressure scenario and on the pacer-friendly tracks here.
