The reason for KL Rahul's struggle in this series is Pant's rise. Now since Pant is in a terrific form he is well on course to make a comeback in the ODI team as a specialist keeper. Who is India's ODI keeper? It is KL Rahul. KL Rahul was said by our great Captain that he is our long-term option for keeper in the ODI team. Now it is foolishness of not letting Pant play as a keeper batsman after the form he is in. So this actually roots back to the time when KL Rahul was said that he would be a wicket-keeper for India. Rahul's struggle have got nothing to do with the skill set but it is his insecurity that is not letting him perform.
