KL Rahul's batting position at number six has been a topic of discussion, but Team India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said that he has accepted the new role wholeheartedly. The acceptance of batting position in return has given more depth to Team India's batting lineup.

KL Rahul has enjoyed success while batting at number five, scoring 1,000 plus runs with an average of over 50, but since the ODI series against Sri Lanka, the right-hander has been batting at number six.
