KL Rahul was named in India's Asia Cup squad even as chief selector Ajit Agarkar conceded the batsman had suffered another niggle. A day before India left for Sri Lanka for the continental tournament, coach Rahul Dravid confirmed KL Rahul would not play the first two matches against Pakistan and Nepal.

This brings us back to a question we asked last week on the Sledging Room: should KL Rahul have been selected in the first place? And there's a new question this week: what does Rahul's injury mean for India in the match against Pakistan and the World Cup squad overall?

India are likely to announce their World Cup side on September 3. Now, with Rahul not having played international cricket for several months, should he be named in the squad for cricket's biggest showpiece event?

In the immediate future, what about India's batting line-up?

Also, will Virat Kohli bat at No.4 like a lot of experts have suggested in a bid to add more heft to the batting line-up? Or will Rohit Sharma move down the order to allow both Ishan and Shubman Gill open the innings?

There are several burning questions that still need to be answered. Who else would ask them but Akshay Ramesh and Rajarshi Gupta.

Tune in!
