Rahul has long been a pillar of strength in India’s cricketing setup, particularly in the ODI format. He played a vital role during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, where he tallied 452 runs with an average of 75.33. His contributions included a century and two fifties, and he also set a new Indian record for most wicketkeeping dismissals (17) in a single World Cup edition, overtaking the legendary Rahul Dravid.

Earlier this year, he was instrumental in India clinching the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 title. Rahul delivered solid performances with the bat, scoring 140 runs in four innings at a staggering average of 140, showcasing his composure and adaptability in high-pressure situations.

Often hailed for his ability to anchor the innings during challenging phases, Rahul has built a reputation as one of India’s most reliable middle-order batters and a safe pair of hands behind the stumps.
