IND vs ENG 5th T20I: Why KL Rahul Is Not Playing Today?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I: There’s a lot riding on this game. Series’ bragging rights may be the principal target for both India and England but for the Virat Kohli and team management, there’s more going on behind the scene than meets the eye.
For a good period, team India has slots nailed down by the regulars, but with Shikhar Dhawan no longer as consistent as he used to be, and Rohit Sharma’s hot and cold form, Team India selectors and management has a lot in its basket than what everybody would have hoped for.
That’s why the team combination has to hit the bull’s eye in the IND vs ENG 5th T20I match. There’s no ifs and buts. No excuses after the match, only inquest and judgement.
