The Board of Control for Cricket in India shared a tweet and informed about the changes in the squad. While Rohit has been ruled out of the test, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Mohammed Shami have been ruled out of the series.
A genuine opener, Rahul batted at No.4 and kept wickets for India in the first match of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh at Mirpur on Sunday.
KL Rahul (73) stood tall, braving the fall of wickets from the other end. Senior stars like Rohit Sharma (27), Shikhar Dhawan (7) and Virat Kohli (9) failed to fire as Shakib (5/36) and Ebadot (4/47) troubled the Indian batters
KL Rahul (51) and Virat Kohli (26) put a 60 run stand for second wicket, but Sean Williams (2/9) squeezed some momentum out of their innings. However, Suryakumar Yadav (61*) made sure things finished well for Men in Blue.
Virat (64*) had an historic outing as not only his score powered India to a huge total, but he also became highest run scorer in T20 WC history. KL Rahul (50) also found form. Hasan Mahmud (3/47) was pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh
KL Rahul, who is yet to get his World Cup campaign off to a flyer, will be looking to change that when India take on Bangladesh in their group-stage match on November 2.
