Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul
KL Rahul vs Shikhar Dhawan in Test Cricket: The first match of the two Test series between India and Bangladesh has started from today. Now the first day’s play is over. Team India captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the first Test due to injury, so the command of the team has been given in the hands of KL Rahul. When the Indian team was announced for the series, KL Rahul was the vice-captain, but now that Rahul is the captain, the responsibility of the vice-captaincy has been given to Cheteshwar Pujara. Meanwhile, KL Rahul returned to the pavilion after getting out cheaply today. He faced 54 balls and could only score 22 runs during this period. Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan is now running out of Tests. It is believed that Shikhar Dhawan may not be able to return to the Test team now, but even after the flop performance, KL Rahul is not only the vice-captain of the team, but is also captaining it now. But you should look at the Test performance of both these players. Where Shikhar Dhawan is seen ahead of KL Rahul.

KL Rahul has three more Test innings left this year
The comparison of the figures of these two can also be correct because Shikhar Dhawan not only opens the Test for the Indian team, but also KL Rahul is often seen opening. If we look at the figures that we have told you, then it is known that if KL Rahul is playing for the Indian team, then Shikhar Dhawan should also be in the team. Yes, it is another matter that Shikhar Dhawan is now 37 years old and KL Rahul is only 30 years old. But you also have to keep in mind here that Shikhar Dhawan has not played a single Test match for the last almost four years. It has to be seen how KL Rahul performs in the remaining three innings of the series.
