KS Bharat or Dhruv Jurel: The Indian head coach has made it clear that KL Rahul will not be seen as a wicketkeeper in the five-match Test series to be played against England. He further told that there will be a fight between KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel for wicketkeeping. Jurel is an uncapped player and Bharat took the responsibility of keeping in the Border Gavaskar Trophy played against Australia on home soil last year.

The Indian head coach also talked about KL Rahul's performance against South Africa. Rahul Dravid said in the press conference, “Rahul will not play as a wicketkeeper in this series and we were clear this time in the selection itself.”
He further said, “We have selected two different wicketkeepers and obviously Rahul did a great job in South Africa and played a big role in drawing the series. But keeping in mind five Test matches and in such conditions To play, selection will be among two wicketkeepers only.”
