In a major blow to Team India, senior-most fast bowler Ishant&nbsp;Sharma has been ruled out of the 2-match Test series in New Zealand&nbsp;starting 21st February.&nbsp;The 31-year-old twisted his right ankle while bowling&nbsp;during Delhi's&nbsp;Ranji Trophy game against Vidarbha on Monday and&nbsp;limped off the ground with the help of support staff before being&nbsp;sent for an MRI&nbsp;scan. What makes Ishant's&nbsp;injury even more concerning is the fact that he was in good rhythm&nbsp;and was the joint highest wicket-taker in India's last Test series against Bangladesh.

Injury concerns for India keep mounting as after Shikhar&nbsp;Dhawan&nbsp;hurt his shoulder, his Delhi teammate&nbsp;and India's senior-most fast bowler&nbsp;Ishant&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;injured his ankle badly during their&nbsp;Ranji Trophy game against Vidarbha on Monday. The 31-year-old twisted his right ankle while bowling and&nbsp;limped off the ground with the help of support staff before being&nbsp;sent for an MRI&nbsp;scan.

It was a double delight for the Indian cricket fans as apart from clinching the ODI series vs Australia,&nbsp;Indian junior side too started their 2020 Under-19 World Cup campaign on a winning note. The boys in blue beat Sri&nbsp;Lanka by 90 runs and now lead Group A with 2 points. Siddhesh&nbsp;Veer was the player of the game for his all-round show. After a quickfire 44 with the bat, He also claimed 2 wickets to help his side win. Defending Champions India next take on Japan on Tuesday.

Virat Kohli may have been the player of the series vs Australia but you can never overlook KL Rahul. His 146 runs with an average of 48 in the 3 match series doesn&rsquo;t show the pressure that the Karnataka wicketkeeper-batsman faced. He batted at 3 different positions in all 3 games but never looked out of sorts. His keeping too helped Team India immensely. Skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;said, "If you look at the 2003 World Cup where Rahul&nbsp;Dravid started keeping, the balance became different because you could play an extra batter and guys at the top could really play positive cricket". KL&nbsp;Rahul played positively which is why he made Rishabh Pant&rsquo;s unfortunate injury a major opportunity for himself. Virat&nbsp;added, "Rahul really brings in a good balance if he can keep and bat that well in that position (No. 5). He has come into the slot and he has done well so we will have to persist with that a little bit and see where that takes us and not necessarily be confused about the other options we have".&nbsp;One can expect Rahul to be behind the stumps on New Zealand and if this short term experiment pays off then KL Rahul can be a long term solution for Team India.
