KL Rahul was expected to be on the sidelines for much of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 but was given back the opener’s slot due to captain Rohit Sharma’s unavailability for the first Test.

Rahul’s performance in the match was crucial to India’s historic win, to the extent that Rohit shifted himself to the middle order to accommodate Rahul at the top.

Rahul has been India’s top performer in the series, scoring 235 runs from six innings at an average of 47, including two half-centuries. He is the second-highest run-scorer in the series, behind only Travis Head.

After a challenging home series against New Zealand, Rahul has bounced back strongly in Australia, with his key knock of 84 runs in the third Test at The Gabba being pivotal. The team will be hoping he stays fit for the upcoming Melbourne Test which starts on Dec 26th.
