Mayank Agarwal should be given choice before KL Rahul: Wasim Jaffer
With Shubman Gill expected to miss out on the first few Test matches against England due to an increased calf injury, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul have received the fray to partner Rohit Sharma in the first Test in Trent Bridge, starting August 4.

Speaking on the thinkings on his YouTube channel, former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer thinks Mayank Agarwal should be given preference as the opener while KL Rahul can fit someplace in the middle-order.
“It will be a very big opportunity for Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul with Mayank being my first preference,” Wasim Jaffer said. “He has had an excellent career so far. He was dropped after two poor outings in Australia but I am sure he will be looking forward to this opportunity.”
“It is a very big series of five Test matches which can make or break a cricketer’s career. I feel KL Rahul can also fit somewhere in the middle-order if not as an opener,” Jaffer added.
KL Rahul has played 36 Test matches, getting 2006 runs, including 5 centuries and 11 fifties. His last outing in red-ball format acted in response to 2019 against the West Indies at Kingston.
