India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul took part in a fun session where he ranked the top five batters. There was a twist to the session as Rahul didn't know the name of all five batters he was going to rank. The first player that Rahul was asked to rank was Travis Head and Rahul kept him at fifth. Rahul said he knows a lot of big names would follow Head thus he kept the Aussie opener at the last position. The next on the list was Rohit Sharma and Rahul had no second thought in placing him at second. When asked to rank Pakistan stalwart Babar Azam , Rahul put him at fourth while he kept Suryakumar Yadav at three. Virat Kohli was the last name on the list and Rahul placed him at the first position. Rahul made the predictions to Raj Varma, the video of which was shared on snaxgaming Instagram account.

Rahul also ranked the top five bowlers and placed James Anderson second. He was next asked to rank Dale Steyn and he kept him at first. Rahul put Rashid Khan at fourth and Jasprit Bumrah at three. Pakistan's Naseem Shah was placed at fifth.

Meanwhile, Rahul will next be seen in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. There were question marks about his place in the squad, however, the selectors showed faith in his abilities and picked him in the squad, especially keeping the upcoming Australia tour in mind.

Rahul made their task a bit easier after he scored a half-century in the Duleep Trophy match against India B. Rahul is also likely to find a place in the XI ahead of Sarfaraz Khan, with Rishabh Pant playing as a specialist wicketkeeper-batter. The Bangladesh Test series gets underway on September 19 in Chennai. The second Test will be played from September 27 in Kanpur.
