Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina while talking about KL Rahul said that the young players in the team need a leader like KL Rahul. “He has looked very calm and composed as a captain in recent times and the players selected need a leader like KL Rahul. There is Kuldeep (Yadav) and Chahal, both will play together,” Suresh Raina told Star Sports.
“There are new fast bowlers - Umran Malik, the way he has bowled, and then Arshdeep. Both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik, whose performance has been very good in the IPL, will also be there. So I feel his (Rahul's) presence will bring calmness and the South African players are also good, so it will be a very good contest."
Rishabh Pant will be the vice-captain of the team for this series and will be hoping to do well.
