Former India opening batter Wasim Jaffer lauded KL Rahul’s natural talent and technical foundation, saying that the wicketkeeper-batter stands alongside iconic cricketer Virat Kohli in terms of ability.

Appearing on The Great Indian Cricket Show on Doordarshan, Jaffer also offered behind-the-scenes perspectives from his tenure with the Indian Premier League (IPL) outfit Punjab Kings.
