Knight was very impressed with Rahul during this period. Knight told PTI that, from the perspective of preparation, perhaps the most important thing is in North Commit. I am a very fan of Lokesh Rahul. I am also a fan of his salute batting. His best place in all formats is in top order.
He said that, I think he has been used in different roles but his experience of starting the innings in Test match cricket and scoring runs is very important. Knight said that Kohli and Rohit’s retirement would be a chance for other batsmen to prove themselves.
He said that, players have a chance to submit their claim from practice matches. Karun Nair clearly affected. Knight said that, if I honestly say, Yashasvi is not in his best form. If I were an Indian player, Indian selector or Indian fans, I wanted to see him in a better form. But does this mean that I will not choose them in the top order? No, I will definitely feed him to start the innings with Rahul.
He said that, according to me, Sai Sudarshan comes at number three, Shubman Gill at number four, and then you move from there. Sai is a very good player. He plays late shot.
