KL Rahul may not have played a T20I match for India since the ICC T20 World Cup in 2022, but his determination to return has caught the attention of anyone else than Suresh Raina. The former Indian Cricter believes that Kl Rahul has done everything to be part of the T20i configuration of India.
Indian selectors have been preferring aggressive and attacked batters such as Abhishek Sharma, Yasasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill in the shortest format of the game, leaving Rahul elegant even after the removal of the Kohli and Rohit Sharma bid format.
The 32 -year -old has so far played 72 games in Cricket T20i and has accumulated 2,265 runs at an average of 37.75 and a strike rate of 139.13. Rahul also has two centuries and 22 centuries in his name in the format. It is also among the Indians who have marked centuries in the three formats.

Well, the batter on the right is still the key part of the test and the hatred of India’s hatred, and has made it clear to its intentions that still belong to the T20IS. Rahul turned to his impressive performances for the Delhi capitals at the IPL 2025.
It had marked 539 runs to 15 games on a strike rate of 149.72. However, it was the adaptability of Rahul, anchoring at the top and changing gears in medium order, to the IPL 2025, which impressed everyone. Rahul even admitted that he worked in his game with Abhishek Sharma.
However, Rahul was overlooked for the next Asia Cup 2025, which means that everything is outside the selectors plan for the ICC T20 2026 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. And Suresh Raina has requested the return of Karnataka star on the side while mentioning how he worked hard in his game.
Raina said that Rahul’s class, composition, composition and brain are something that India could again need at the ICC T20 2026 World Cup. With the Cricket T20, which requires fire force and Fay, the former World Cup winner still considers India to need Rahul’s services.
Suresh Raina told Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast on his YouTube channel: “He marked the runs. Look, Kl Rahul has a temperament. People believe that the T20 is a very fast game where you just have to get to shots, but the class, the temperament and the conscience of the game you have not come during the night. He has worked hard, so I think he will return.”

Previously, Kl Rahul had said he is confident in his recent actions. He had admitted that returning to T20IS and playing in the World Cup of the ICC T20 2026 are still their goals, but he wanted to stay at the moment. His comments came from his impressive IPL 2025 program.
Rahul had stated, “Yes, I want to return to the T20i team, and the World Cup is in my head, but for the moment he only tries to enjoy how I am playing right now.”
