KL Rahul appointed vice-captain as Pandya ruled out of World Cup
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the remaining ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury. Pandya sustained the injury during the league match against Bangladesh on October 19 and has failed to recover in time for the rest of the tournament.
KL Rahul, who has been in great form throughout the World Cup, has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team for the remainder of the tournament. Rahul will now attend all team meetings and be consulted by the team management in key decisions, according to a report by The India Express.
Rahul’s outstanding performance behind the stumps
Rahul’s performance behind the stumps has been exceptional. He has displayed remarkable agility by taking sensational catches and making exceptional saves. In the seven matches played so far, he has contributed to nine dismissals, comprising of eight catches and one stumping.
This decision was made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who informed Rahul about his appointment as vice-captain on Saturday morning. The BCCI official stated that Rahul was informed by Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of the selection committee, who is currently travelling with the team.
With Pandya out of the tournament, Rahul’s role in the team becomes even more crucial. He has been a key contributor with both bat and gloves, and his leadership qualities will be valuable in the remaining matches of the World Cup.
