KL Rahul is currently performing the same duties that Rahul Dravid once did for Team India. This duty is wicketkeeping. Dravid took on this responsibility to provide an additional batsman in the team, and Rahul took it over after Pant's ODI failure, and he has now become India's first-choice wicketkeeper. Meanwhile, Rahul has also created a mystery that no one understands.

Rahul took over wicketkeeping duties before the ODI World Cup and has been doing so ever since. However, his wicketkeeping gloves in the last few series have baffled many. No one seems to understand the reason behind Rahul's choice of gloves.

Gloves of different colors

When Rahul goes out to keep wickets, he wears gloves of different colors. He wears orange on his left hand and blue on his right. Usually, wicketkeepers wear gloves of the same color, but Rahul is not doing so. Seeing this, many people are wondering whether this is Rahul's choice or are the gloves he has been given like this? The situation remained the same in the first ODI against New Zealand being played in Vadodara, and this issue was also raised by Aakash Chopra, who was commentating.

Chopra suggested that Rahul might choose between two pairs of gloves and wear them. Social media has also seen posts filled with surprise about Rahul's gloves. Only Rahul can explain the reason behind this, but his gloves have certainly created some confusion.

Why are Indian wicketkeeper KL Rahul gloves two colors during the INDvsNZ match?

Ready to take on any responsibility

Rahul is one of those players in the Indian team who is always ready to shoulder any responsibility. Although he is an opening batsman and opens for India in Tests, he was given the responsibility of middle order and wicketkeeping in ODIs. He happily embraced the responsibility. He has also kept wicket in Tests.
