The Indian team reached New Zealand on Tuesday. They included both KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant was injured in the series against Australia. After this, Rahul was wicketkeeping in his place. With this, the discussion has started whether Rahul can play a dual role in ODIs and T20 tournaments in future. If this happens, Pant will lose his place.
