🤝 Veteran Guidance for India’s New-Look Squad
With Test veteran Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma having retired, India faces a leadership vacuum in the dressing room during their upcoming England tour. Former England captain Michael Vaughan praised KL Rahul, the 33-year-old opener, as a crucial “fatherly figure” to steady the team through this transition.
Vaughan, speaking on Fox Cricket, emphasized Rahul’s value, not just for his batting, but for his logic, composure, and influence in guiding India’s emerging players.
🧭 Why Rahul’s Presence Is Key
- Vaughan noted that Rahul’s experience and temperament make him an ideal mentor for younger teammates .
- As India prepares for their first England series without Kohli, figures like Rahul and Shubman Gill are stepping up—on and off the field.

Vaughan also touched on the void left by Kohli:
“You don’t massively miss someone who averages 33 here, but you miss someone who brings so much to the dressing room.”
That dressing room spirit will now rely heavily on leaders like Rahul—where off-field influence matters as much as runs.
⚙️ Impact on India’s Test Strategy
With India fielding a young, refreshed lineup led by Shubman Gill, the collective aim is to blend talent with stability. While Rahul shares the captaincy’s responsibility, his calming persona is expected to reinforce team confidence.
