Should KL Rahul open or bat in the middle order?

KL Rahul’s technique suits facing the new ball against both pace and spin.

Opening lets him exploit fielding restrictions and score quickly in the powerplay.

Rahul handles pressure well against world-class bowlers early in the innings.

Batting in the middle can stabilize innings after early wickets.

His consistency and big scores are better as an opener than in the middle order.

Opening provides balance with another established opener; middle order may crowd experienced batsmen.

He can succeed in either role, but stats favor him as an opener; opposition and strategy should guide the decision.
