The absence of KL Rahul can hurt the Indian team against England. Because last year he performed brilliantly in the Test series played on the tour of England and he was the second most successful batsman for India. He scored 315 runs in four matches at an average of 39.38, including a century.

Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar believes that the absence of KL Rahul in the top order has left a huge gap. He said batting in English conditions would be difficult as India had not batted here for a long time. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma is also likely to be ruled out of this Test match. In such a situation, the difficulties for Team India are not taking the name of lessening.
